To understand what "gum-free" means, one must first understand what "gums" are in pet food. In canned pet food, gums are often used as thickeners and stabilizers to prevent meat and moisture separation. They can also act as fillers, occupying up to 30% of the can's volume. After adding gums, the otherwise thin broth transforms into a thick, appealing gravy—this appearance caters to human visual preferences, but cats themselves cannot discern the difference. Although the "thick" texture might make owners feel the food is more palatable, some studies suggest that long-term consumption of certain gums may pose health risks.
100% Gum-Free
Our pet staple food contains absolutely no thickeners of any kind.
The product is free of common gelling agents such as carrageenan, guar gum, and xanthan gum, and does not use any other additives with thickening or stabilizing functions. This ensures the contents return to the most original state of meat and broth, without any filler or texture-modifying ingredients. Because adding gelling agents can reduce production costs by up to one-third, they are widely used in both human and pet canned foods. However, since a cat's digestive system is different from a human's, pet owners must be extra cautious when choosing cat food.
