Bummed to discover that this contains fish :(

I agree with the last reviewer, the ingredients list on amazon should be more clear. I thought this was a vegetarian soup when I ordered it,  now after receiving the package I am disappointed to discover that "powdered bonito" is powdered fish. It clearly states that Bonito is fish on the package, but on amazon it doesn't specify this.  So this purchase ended up being nothing more than 10 bucks down the drain for me.

(I have a shellfish allergy that developed a few years ago. I have had to be very careful about all seafood as I have had reactions to some fish paste and soups made with fish sauce at restaurants. Fish & shellfish are not the same as far as allergies, so I do not know why this sometimes happens. It could have been cross-contamination or maybe I am allergic to certain fish as well....In any case, I make it a point to avoid things like "powdered fish" in my food.)

Normally I am very happy with this food.  My cat had vomiting issues and we tried several brands of food, including prescription, before finding one  he did well on and liked.  However, this latest batch smells like fish (I purchased turkey) and he barely touches it.  I'm not going to feed him anymore of it.  My only thought is perhaps the cans stayed too long in the heat of a warehouse, as they are all in date.  I will still buy this product, but I'm not sure if I should keep getting it from amazon.

I buy this as a treat for bottom feeding fish in my aquarium every once in a while and they absolutely go BONKERS the stuff, but my local grocery store stopped carrying it. I ordered this online while it was quite warm outside, and a lot of the eggs had sadly turned to a mush-like consistency. My fish didn't mind at all but I definitely wouldn't order this for human consumption, at least during the summer months.

The price was great but when you order flake food you expect to get sizable flakes so the large cichlids will eat it.  The flakes I received are vary small to granules and my large angle fish and African cichlids do not like it.  I am very disappointed in this because I ordered 2 3-pound contains that I can not use except for baby fish.

I have been feeding this food to my three dogs for about a year.  We switched from Purina Pro Plan because I wanted a grain free diet and Taste of the Wild had good reviews and wasn't over priced.  I store the food in a sealed plastic container made for  dog food and go through about 1 30 lb. bag every two weeks.  I went to feed by dogs tonight and found a large chunk of food which looked like it was congealed in fat.  After close inspection, it was not fat at all, but it was MOLD!!!!  I inspected the rest of their dog food closer and there were pieces that broke off which I found in the food they were eating!!!!  I really hope my dogs don't get sick from this.  Amazon was great in rectifying the issue by giving me a refund, but I am done with Taste of the Wild. I just canceled my order because they were running low.  If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.  I would like to stick to a grain free diet, but it can get expensive with three dogs. I thought I was doing something good for them by buying more expensive food, now I feel guilty.

I bought this with good intentions but my elderly Cat and two other won't eat anything with fish (I know, weird cats) and this has fish oil in it. As expensive as it was I shouldve looked closer at the ingredients.

Hate to give a bad review but hopefully people who are at least sensitive to this brand will find benefit and avoid this item:

I was raised with Seafood and used to eating caviar/roes and was very happy with some of the Romanoff purchases but I got sick off of this brand.
Almost like a bacteria attack on my body and really bad feeling and I'm a very fit guy.  I tried the Capelin because it was from the same Icelandic environment like Romanoff and similar brands and couldn't beat the pricing with what looks like a great "fancy" packaging and opted out of my Salmon choice to try a new type of fish.  Ultimately a Very Bad Idea especially if someone would have been older with a weaker immune system. Stick with the familiar fish over this one.

Caveat Emptor on this Caviar!!!

I love Swedish Fish, so this is not a review of the product overall, just my shipment.  I received a box with 12 5oz bags.  Each bag had several fish that were actually sliced in half and fitted back together. It's very odd, actually. It's not like they were torn or broken in transit.  There is a very clean cut, all the way through the fish, and parts were fitted back together.  I really have not idea how this happened, as it has been the case for each bag in this shipment.  In addition, the fish are hard. They are not soft and chewy as they should be.  I tried to return the shipment but was unable to due to Amazon's return policy (which I believe prohibits the return of food products).  Overall, very dissatisfied with this shipment, but love Swedish Fish in general.

I am not sure what is actually in this fish food, and it is very expensive per pound.  I cannot find large bags of pond food ( I may be one of the only people in Brooklyn NY with a 900 gallon pond in my tiny urban yard) and I wish I could find something more traceable, (where does this stuff come from and what is actually in it- pesticides, etc) but I am not planning to eat my goldfish, so I will keep ordering from Amazon only for the convenience.

Turns out the dog is allergic to Salmon so we stopped giving it to him. However, he did seem to like it when added to his food. Be aware though, it has a very fishy smell.

Apparently the packaging lies and this contains chicken by products!
How disturbing. I will opening an A-Z and switching dog food.

Before I say anything else, I want to say that I do not believe there is anything exactly "wrong" with this seaweed... but I'm not sure what is going on with it.

First, it is exactly as described. Beautiful big pieces in the bag and seems very fresh (although obviously dried lol).

Here's the odd thing... and it probably won't happen to anyone else because most likely I'm the only one who bought it for this purpose. I bought it to feed my crayfish. I wanted something more natural than the processed seaweed you usually find, since my crayfish is wild-caught and I doubt she would have come across roasted seaweed in the pond she was living in. This might be from the sea instead of a freshwater pond like the crayfish is, but at least it's raw. I cut off a piece, rinsed the excess salt off thoroughly, and put it in her tank on the "veggie clip". She was ecstatic and went to work on it right away.

The next day, I found that something I could not identify had appeared on the seaweed. I am including a picture of it. If you zoom in you can see that it is a sort of donut-shaped gelatinous blob made of lots of tiny little dots. Does anyone have any idea WTF this thing is???

It is NOT eggs from my fish, before you ask. I only have male livebearers, no female egglayers. And crayfish don't lay eggs on objects, they carry them, and they are much bigger than this anyway.

OMG this thing has creeped me out! Did I just introduce some sort of parasite into my aquarium?? Is that what it is? Eggs for some kind of critter?? Or is it an organism unto itself?? It is so weird!!! HELP!

I'm freaking out a little because my crayfish was already not particularly strong, after a bad molt recently, so anything like that could be really dangerous.

But other than that, would totally buy this again.

Purchased for my Kidney disease cat because of the quality protein. I was disappointed the ingredient list contained carageenan since we knmow this is not good for human or animal. Guess it just goes to show even the high dollar quality brands like to skimp on what they put in the can. Very disappointed. It also contains guar gum. It is a pate style with no gravy. My cat did like it, but not as well as other brands that omit the carageenan. Not sure if we will buy again or not.

I'm not usually one to write a review. But for this I am. I got my food on Saturday. Fed my fish Sunday. By Monday morning every single one of my fish were dead. It is the only thing that was different about the tank. I could understand maybe one but an entire tank. That to me is something wrong with the food. I have had my fish for over 3 years. They were healthy and have had no issues. It was a very sad day for me. Please beware before thinking about buying this food!

I gave this product one star because it contains carrageenan which research has shown to proliferate cancer in animals. I was very excited to try this since I do not drink regular milk and I wanted a nutrient rich substitute for cow's milk to give my 1 year old son.  My review is not based on taste. I've never tasted this product and it arrived faster than estimated. Although carrageenan is a derivative of seaweed which I always thought was good for me, something may change in its processing as an emulsifier to make it less advantageous for the body. Nonetheless, You can research it for yourselves and make your own choice.

I prefer light tuna instead of white meat.  And I prefer it in water not oil. After purchasing what was labeled as light tuna in water I read the fine print of the ingredients which list vegetable broth as an ingredient.  Broth, soup, juice and other liquid ingredients ARE NOT PURE WATER.  This is therefore tuna in broth, not tuna in water.  And btw the cheapest vegetable broth is from soy.  So this sneaky and misleading labeling means I will never buy Starkist again.  If you're not a fan of Tuna in Soy juice I invite you to join me in purchasing your canned tuna from a different label.

My dogs loved this food, but I had to stop giving it due to the added glucosamine (which is derived from shellfish) because my dog has a shellfish allergy. I wish they had a Core option without added glucosamine.
