Ingredient concerns
- Poultry By-Products (medium concern): While 'poultry' is more specific than 'animal,' the term still encompasses multiple species (chicken, turkey, duck, etc.), making it less transparent than named single-species ingredients. Quality and digestibility vary based on the specific parts included.
- Carrageenan (high concern): Research has shown that both degraded carrageenan (poligeenan) and food-grade carrageenan can promote intestinal inflammation in animal models. Studies have linked carrageenan exposure to intestinal lesions, ulcerations, and colitis-like symptoms in laboratory animals. While the FDA considers food-grade carrageenan safe, concerns remain about degradation during processing and digestion. The Cornucopia Institute petitioned the USDA to remove carrageenan from organic food standards.
