Why is caramel included in Harringtons cat food, and is it safe for cats?

Caramel is used in very small amounts in our cat food, not for taste but to darken the colour of the product. While caramel is a sugar, it’s important to note that cats are not sensitive to sugar as they lack sweet receptors to taste it. The caramel we use is an EU and UK-approved feed material, added at minimal levels that pose no risk to your cat's health.

Caramel is commonly used in both jelly and gravy-based products, and its inclusion does not affect your cat’s diet or wellbeing. Rest assured, the safety and health of pets are our top priorities, and all ingredients meet stringent safety standards.
