Cat food recommendations

Given the recent food scare. I am re-considering my foood choice for my beloved cat. I was using Eukanuba But I had suspected that there were better choices. What would you recommend as a good dry food choice for my cat who is 9 years old. I, of course, want him to live forever!
Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

I feed Acana adult, I have no problems with it, and the cats are doing great on it. Less mess in the litter boxes ( which is my favorite part) they seem to be shedding less, and are shiny as shiny could be!
Not the best food on the market by all means, but its pretty good.

Their impression of power is remarkable. They give one the feeling of immense reserves of energy, of great reservoirs of knowledge, of tolerance of disposition, obstinacy of purpose, and tenacity of principle. They are responsive, and they have a lot of quiet, good sense.

My cats have been doing really well on Felidae. Plus its well priced. They also really like Innova Evo, Orijin and Timberwolf Organics. Since switching them to Felidae, my cats have started shedding less, have soft shiny coats have a ton more energy and are very happy healthy cats. I just found a stray (sickly looking) kitten last week, and even my vet is impressed how fantastic he already looks, and I believe its due to the food.

I highly recommend Innova adult cat! I just recently switched my kitties (2 months ago) from eating Iams for 4 years. There were HUGE changes in the amount they shed and their coats are so much softer and shinier! One had dandruff, which is now gone, and she's lost some weight (which is good because she was getting a little chubby ). The other threw up all the time (for her whole life, some of it is just cuz she eats too fast) and now she hardly throws up at all. Eventually we'll switch to Innova EVO, but right now I want them to adjust to the regular Innova.
