I'm not surprised that the CF is an issue but I'm sad to hear the Oxbow is! I purposely picked the GS version because it had other fruit/veggies mixed in. But if that's not enough, I'll have to look into the one you mentioned. I found the Rodipet line but it doesn't appear to be available in the US Going to reach out to the company and Amazon and see if I can change that!
