Agar-agar in dog food
|
|
Agar-agar (E406) is a gelling agent derived from seaweed. In pet food, it is primarily used to help create the characteristic firm consistency of paté and loaf type wet foods.
Agar-agar is becoming popular as an alternative to its controversial cousin, carrageenan.
As with any ingredient, it is possible for a dog to develop an allergic reaction to agar-agar, but so far at least, it certainly looks like a safer option than some of the alternatives [1].
