I went today to buy more bulk food from my supplier, read the contents on the bag, and sure enough the third to last ingredient is cobalt carbonate. I do not htink it is always last due to it not being important, but due to it's cost. It always winds up in the last few ingredients listed. The only exception I have ever found in food is a particular brand of parrot fish food that had it in the top 4 or 5 of ingredients. I cannot remember the name of the brand.
Thanks again George for the information. If you remember what the name of that food is, I would be interested. You wouldn't happen to know the amount of cobalt added in percentage, or the amount added into the water?
