Not sure if there are any veggies that should be avoided though, hopefully someone else can pipe in
Good practice to give them a good rinse in case of pesticides etc.

Since you seem to know quite a bit about this food, i have a few questions if i may..?
1. Why does New Era have such a high Ash content? On almost every single formula the Ash content is at 20%, this is the highest i have ever seen. A reason for this would be the low starch/carb inclusion rate, the rest i assume comes from left over fish/shrimp ingredients. When one uses ingredients such as fish meal that comes from processing plant waste which is a common practice in fish feeds the end product usually has a very high Ash content, mainly due to the heads, bones and scales. If this is not the case with New Era can you please explain to me the reason what it could be?
2. With a water/moisture percentage of 19% in particularly the red formula what synthetic preservatives does New Era use? New Era does not list any preservatives on their labeling, maybe you could explain how this is possible?
New Era also claims to process their food with this " Revolutionary Cold pressed process". Aus government (AQIS) has specific processing/manufacturing temperature requirements for all imported dry fish foods in to our country. Either that or the food will be Gamma radiated (yes fish feeds are allowed to be gamma radiated in AUS, but not Dog and Cat foods), there are no exceptions. I have been importing for 7 years now and the regulation requirements are getting more strict by the year!!
Don't be fooled folks, ask questions, specially if they would put their money where their mouth is... If you buy something (anything for that matter) for your aquarium almost everything comes with a warranty or a guarantee, so why shouldn't a fish food be any different?
