The reason why tofu cat litter is always complained.
First, the quality is not up to standard. It is mainly reflected in the raw materials, such as the use of inferior or expired corn starch, which is easy to produce mold and aflatoxin; in addition, there are also phenomena such as poor water absorption and dust generation.
The second is to exaggerate the publicity. Due to the low cost and poor quality of raw materials, the quality of tofu cat litter is uneven due to dust and uneven agglomeration during the use of the product.
3. Hazardous substances. Cat litter is a granule formed from powder under high pressure. The glue usually used to bond cat litter is edible plant gum such as guar gum, sodium alginate, starch glue, etc., but the non-edible adhesives often used by businesses will produce formaldehyde, heavy metals and harmful substances.
