| Purred: Thu Feb 23, '12 3:53pm PST |  |  |  |  | Well, I got an answer
When I posted my question, I emailed Merrick again and sent them the pic, here is the response:
"Thank you for getting back to me. I wanted to let you know by looking at this picture I am able to tell this is guar a thickening agent we use in the food. It is possible for the guar not to get mixed in all the way and it does form those clumps. I wanted to let you know that I have forwarded this picture to our quality control manager. I do apologize for all the stress this may have cause you. I was wondering if you received the coupons I have sent you. I want to let you know we will take prompt action to try to get this issue resolved. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do for you."
I am now hopeful that this may be resolved soon!  |  |  |  |  |

| Purred: Thu Feb 23, '12 7:55am PST |  |  |  |  | Hi Corbin It isn't potato or carrot~ they are pretty hard but you can break them up if you try. We have fed this food as a part of our rotation for a while, and I know these pieces are not supposed to be there...
Hi Hunter We also buy the Quail/Chicken, and I don't think this has happened with that flavor. Neither cat really likes beef flavors
Hi Eko I saw that in the other forum~ gross!! This food does not appear to be bad in any way, but I hate paying for food that is partially inedible! |  |  |  |  |

| Purred: Wed Feb 22, '12 5:22pm PST |  |  |  |  | I have been having a problem with Before Grain chicken and turkey canned flavors and I'm curious to know if anyone else has had the same issue.
I am finding large and small chunks of what appears to be kibble in the canned food. I emailed Merrick and was told:
"I haven't had any complaints of this matter, our kibble is made in a totally different plant than our canned food so I can't see how there could be any cross contamination."
Merrick sent me some coupons and I purchased more food but am still having the same problem.
I took samples to the store where I purchased the food and they have not had any other complaints either. They took a picture and will show it to the Merrick rep next time she comes in.
The information on the latest can is as follows:

My guess is that the food is not being processed correctly.
Anyone else? |  |  |  |  |

We were thinking about you while watching the show last time, cuz it seems like he only visits the teevee people 3 times and they are all better
Play is super important! Mr Fluff obviously just needed some attention~ his owners didn't have anything for him and they wondered why he was using them as a play toy
I felt bad for poor Stella. She was living in such a crowded house and suffering from arthritis. Her daddy didn't want to hang shelving on the wall; but living in a home smelling of cat pee was okay with him
One thing that always surprises me, and I don't know if they just do it for the show, but everybody seems to be at a breaking point Either they can't get married, or can't have a baby or somebody is going to have to move out. I dunno, it just seems a little dramatic
