    HI,
    I was reading some of the post and I noticed a post about frozen seafood and additives frequently used to prolong stoarage and improve quality, it mentioned Polyphospates, My question is this used on all fish foods frozen , I am currently feeding a green frozen food that has alage and some krill most of it would be lost if rinsed is there a safe way to tell if they used the polyphospates in this product. not sure if its required listing beings its not for human consumption.
