This is a liquid food with a thick consistency that has small chunks of fish in it.  It uses human food grade ingredients for the health and safety of your pets. It does not require refrigeration. Does NOT contain ethoxyquin like some commercial hermit crab food preparations!  Keep in mind that even if it is not on the label, your hermit crab food may contain ethoxyquin which is also used as an insecticide and many believe can be harmful to hermit crabs. Ethoxyquin is present in most “meal” products like bone meal and fish meal that are used in hermit crab and other pet foods.
This food uses a small amount of sodium benzoate, a preservative used in human food to keep the fish and other ingredients from spoiling. It is present in trace amounts less than 0.1%. 

Information on sodium benzoate:

Synonyms:
Benzoate of soda

Description:
White powder or crystals.

Sodium benzoate converts to benzoic acid when use in acidic mixtures. Benzoic acid has good anti-microbial features, but does not dissolve well in water, whereas sodium benzoate dissolves very well in water.


Uses:
Sodium benzoate is used in acidic foods and products to control bacteria, mold, yeasts, and other microbes. It interferes with their ability to make energy.

Because it only converts to benzoic acid in acidic environments, it is not used for its anti-microbial action unless the pH is below about 3.6. In the food industry, it is used in items such as jams, salad dressing, juices, pickles, and carbonated drinks.
