Ivan, as previously stated I wouldn't lose any sleep over any of this, by this time next year you probably won't see Ginseng on the label any longer due to the ever growing amount of red tape/regulation in this industry. Ditto to the fruit & vegetable extract. But those ingredients have very small inclusion rates, trust me the addition of, or subtraction of either won't even make a slightest blip on your fishes radar. Please keep in mind that for over 15 years, neither of those ingredients were present in any NLS formulas.
As far as the Squid Meal, the problem there is again one of regulations. Apparently Squid Meal is not (or no longer) an APHIS approved ingredient, which means that a number of countries in the EU will not allow its presence in animal feed, including fish food. No problemo if all one is doing is selling food within NA, but a rather big problem for those companies with a large overseas market.
Funny that no one noticed that soybean was not on that label. While New Life has always used a premium & rather expensive form of soybean (isolate) the complete removal of soybean is a big plus in my books, and something that I've personally wanted to see for a long time. No more soy, no more squid, but a lot more krill & herring.
At the end of the day it all balanced out in a very positive way.
