Is Xanthan gum safe for cats? Or is it a toxic ingredient like xylitol?

Question

Isnt Xanthan Gum toxic to cats? Or am I thinking of a different type of 'Gum' that's toxic for them? :) Just wondering! since I've seen some pet foods containing Xanthan!.

I have a feeling you are thinking of Xylitol, which is a component of many sugarless gum products. This is a highly toxic product that should be avoided at all costs. Xanthan gum, as far as I know, is non toxic to both dogs and cats.
