What brand freeze dried BS? I'd like to add BS to my menu but all the freeze dried stuff I've seen had "added vitamin e". Is this ok for them or is there some brand u use in particular GotButterflies?

I’m pretty sure the kind I use is San franscico bay. I’m at my son’s baseball Game, which is out of town. I’ll check when I get home. Vitamin E is safe for them though

Something has to be added to keep the proteins and fats from going bad. Vitamin E (aka mixed tocopherols) is natural and safe and keeps everything fresh.
