LOL, if I were to buy BARF, I would prefer no supplement added, so I will just add myself. For example, fish oil, don't see the need to freeze the fish oil along with the meat. Furthermore, most of the supplement is best to be added right before meal.
well said, it's not freezing for freezing sake, it is more of a convenience. some people, incl. myself, may forget to add the supplement if packed separately.
So there is the concern. does the bones in this one is enough? For the meat:bone ratio. Like Crazymouse said earlier, some recommend 50:50 for meat:bone, and some say 80% meat 10% bone 10% offals. It would be best if this commercialized BARF would tell their proportion and why is it so, and not the other way round
It would be more convincing that way 
as far as i know, i buy from TU and their proportion is 60% raw meaty bones. if the bones are not meaty, they will use 60% bones, extra 20% meat. i think this is very close to the recommended proportion by Dr Billinghurst. so far, no complaints from my dogs. when the meat thaws, it is not soggy.
btw, plse explain commercialized Barf; i think anyone who makes barf for sale, or for that matter anything for sale, is commercialized. it's whether the code of ethics is observed and whether the bottom line is purely profit first or the animals' welfare first.
i have a suggestion for u. why not walk in to King's Confectionery or any famous food chain such as Big Apple, etc. and ask them for their ingredients and the exact proportion they use. better still, go to KFC and ask them what they put in to fry their chicken to make it so tasty. let us know the response u get.
I would not feed my dog with the mix without proper research
neither would I.
By the way we should discuss how is the proper BARF should be, so we all can learn and at the same time judging the commercialized BARF. To buy or to prepare our own is individual choice
