Kevin @ Red Coral had a bunch of them, he ordered quite a bit when he found out he wouldn't be able to get anymore soon. I stocked up a bit, but he does have more.

I don't know the reason, but Kevin @ Red Coral did tell me about something, this is why he bought what he could, and stated after that no more for the pellets.

kevin where are you? Please enlighten us.

hmm, well who knows maybe the CFIA is taking over dry foods as well but I thought there was just a "problem" with the frozen stuff. That sucks

Tell me about it, I use this brand and love it, when I run out I will have to source another.

I have used others, but I do prefer this one. Pellets sink, but not too fast, so they don't just float away and get sucked into the overflows. Also the fish love them. I mix both 1+2 together and feed this everyday.

HEHE, forget I told you about Kevin having them, I think I need to go buy the rest.

I have been told by my wholesalers that Ocean Nutrition is no longer available and that the Canadian Govt. will not allow it into Canada. When I contacted OC directly they blamed the Canadian Govt. I have been told a few different reasons but will not get into them on open forum. So Yes I bought what I could and am concentrating on selling out what I have left and the brands I can bring in. New Life Spectrum, ERA.

The CFIA does not allow transshipping, and now that ON's products are made in Thailand, and then shipped to the US, and distributed from there, that has created at least one of their problems. No direct route to Canada, no green light. It could be that there were ingredient issues as well, there are major differences as to what is allowed in Bangkok, and what is allowed in Canada.

FYI - the new CFIA regulations cover all pet foods being imported into Canada, not just frozen.
