Just for you to know....

P.S The cat is doing fine...I'm so happy, I was so concerned, it was not that strong reaction then... he didn't pass good moments though, much vomiting and cramps..
But glad my boy is fine now...

Mr. Capuzzo,

In Mexico we have both presentations. You can still find Foca with phospahte at most supermarkets and convenience stores in Mexico.

Best regards,

Marisa Medina.

Stocked up on 4 KG of Foca (with phosphate) Yesterday, plan on buying more & more.

Freddy, any updates from P&G? I was reading another site, a few days ago, and it looks as though P&G stopped printing Fosfato on there detergent bags, a few years ago, as they weren't required to, and they changed the name on the ingredient list to the more vague word "water softener".

I really do think, P&G would keep STPP as long as possible, as they did until federal legislation back in 1993 here. I don't believe they'd do it, voluntary..

Update...

I finally got my answer, and Ariel has 6-8% phosphorus in the form of Phosphates in there formulation.

Ariel Pods do not contain any Phosphates, and Ariel Liquido contains 3-4% STPP.

Oh.....damnit!

You know....I totally forgot about it!!!
Sorry....

You should have remembered me to call...I totally removed that from my mind...

That's funny...I was just organizing the many stashes (boxes) placed in the house (BTW I'm the only one that can loose detergents inside the house, I swear I had some more packages of mexican powders including Arcoiris apple scent and do not know where the hell they are now, if you believe please make a prayer to St Anthony for me)  anyway, this  was to make some space for the 25kg vintage  detergents boxes I bought in lot recently....and found in the bottom of one box an old mexican Ariel oxyanillos package with phosphates, unfortunately the bag is old and is leaving  blue color on my hand when I touch it..
The ingredient list is pretty unreadable.....
I also found a big Foca bag with phosphates in another stash in the kitchen...

Anyway.....the mexican Ariel Oxy azul I got recently still don't have phosphates listed..moreover, they're not even anymore  the Oxyanillos kind but now are oxy micro esferas,  (Oxy micro- spheres)...
But good to know they kept phosphates!

Speaking of Ariel USA:

I found though  last week Ariel USA sold at walmart website...so my question is, they really stopped making Ariel USA or not?
Are these leftover bags?
I thought they stopped...

About Ariel USA...

I discovered that all it is, is the old un-concentrated Tide + Bleach formulation

They didn't really stop production of it, Walmart is still receiving it from P&G at there distrubution centers, and there restocking it on the shelves (constantly) in my area.

The scent, is okay.. It's a little strong, and imo, not as nice as the Blue Bag of Ariel, but, it's the American Tide formulation that I thought I wouldn't find again. It cleans very well (in a top loader) but still, I don't think it comes close to the Phosphate Laden stuff from across the boarder

I've seen...

Arcoiris at a Wal-Mart in my area, once, haven't been back to that store, but they carried it.

I was told by the P&G rep that the packaging was modified, to list (Water Softeners) instead of Phosphates due to requests from retailers & distributors . I guess they didn't want Consumers to know that Phosphates were still in the Product..

Anyhow, I feel better about my Ariel Stash
