Just to set the record straight!

At the end of the day, pet food has to be made somewhere, and if a modern facility like Golden Acres, with hygeinic modern plant and equipment can do the job does it really matter? Having said that, of course in buying into the story of a brand like James Wellbeloved, Burns or Arden Grange you sort of expect them to be manufacturing themselves, rather than farming it out!
I agree some one has got to make the food! I would imagine that it is cheaper to contract it out and yes that might not be the best idea but it is a business at the end of the day and is about profit! I had a quick look on the Golden Acres website and just because they produce different brands doesnt mean that Adren Grange/Burns don't get a say in what is in their food?!
