Cat food help!

This is my first post, but I've been reading these forums with interest. I adopted a cat about a month and a half ago, and she's now about 6.5 months old. I switched her food pretty much immediately (away from Iams) and started her on Wellness wet food (now also interspersed with Merrick wet food), which she loves, and Innova Evo kibble (as recommended/pushed by a pet food store). Anyway, I started getting freaked out by the Evo's ratios, and Bella didn't seem to like it very much, so I switched her to Fromm's 4-star Nutritionals kibble. I'm mid-switch right now, and she's eating so much better! BUT, here's the thing -- after reading the stool hardener post I'm concerned about the tomato pomace in the Fromm's. This is the ingredient list; can anyone tell me if this food is good, bad or what? I'd love to keep Bella on the Fromm's since the pet store near my home carries it and I really like the folks who run it, but if this food sucks I might try switching her to Go!Natural. I hate switching her food AGAIN, though -- don't know how she'll take it! Any help is much appreciated.
