In the US, ethoxyquin, manufactured by Monsanto, is required by law
to be used as a preservative in fish destined for the pet food industry.

Are you maybe talking about dog/cat food ?

Issues with dog and cat food lead to my discovering this federal law
requiring ethoxyquin in fish products sold for pet food. The law supposedly
also states that this carcinogen need not be listed, especially if it's
added to an ingredient that the manufacturer buys from a third party.

I am talking about frozen krill and frozen ocean plankton.
The kinds I buy are made by San Francisco Bay:

For example: "Frozen Krill"
List of ingredients: Krill ----- 100%

Ethoxyquin is not listed on the package. Care to comment ?

You can also google "ethoxyquin, fish food" and "ethoxyquin, krill" to
see the variety of fish foods that contain ethoxyquin.
