Cat Canned Food Gums Explained 2026: Carrageenan, Guar Gum and 4 Other Thickeners at a Glance

Cat Canned Food Gums Explained 2026: Carrageenan, Guar Gum and 4 Other Thickeners at a Glance

The gums (hydrocolloids) in canned food mainly serve to thicken, gel and prevent meat juice and water from separating, giving the food a consistent texture. Both the EU's EFSA and the international JECFA have assessed and approved the commonly used gums for safety; public discussion focuses on carrageenan (E407), but the real controversy is 'degraded carrageenan, poligeenan'—which is not a food additive and is not permitted in food. Cats with sensitive digestion can consider gum-free formulas, but there is no need to treat all gums as toxic.
