Even if consumption doesn't mess up fish right away, unknown ingredients are gambling filtration system, which could take a while to discover.
seems healthier to soak pellets in a slurry of whatever fish/shrimp etc that they already eat. blenderize it, freeze daily
portions for thaw & soak.
Even river and lake fishing here, the only feed attractant we use is garlic liquid from grocery store. works better than the bait crap anyway.

I don't think bait is legally required to publish every chemical ingredient, bcuz it isn't classified as FOOD and is intended for huge open waterways, not closed systems. just sayin...

As am I... I have often thought of getting a couple of bluegills for my tank whenever the current occupants pass on... Only thing that was causing me to think twice was the difficulty of pellet training. Hope this is effective!

Had some wild caught green sunfish they were eating pellets in 2-3 days after being in my tank. Not bluegills but not too far from them either
