I would stay away from this food. I got excited at first to see all the organic ingredients but they include a dangerous one, Menadione Sodium Bisulfite. This is a man-made form of vitamin K that the FDA has banned for human consumption due to the levels of toxicity.
Some of the dangers include;
• causes cytotoxicity in liver cells
• damages the natural vitamin K cycle
• causes hemolytic anemia and hyperbilirubinemia, not just linked to large doses
• is directly toxic in high doses (vomiting, albuminuria), unlike natural vitamin K
• has never been researched or specifically approved for long term use, such as in pet food

It may be used in smaller amounts in this food but why take the risk? Especially when other foods can include spinach or other veggies that have completely natural sources of this vitamin.
