⚠ Controversial ingredient
Non-rendered clean parts of carcasses of slaughtered poultry, such as heads, feet, and viscera, free from fecal content and foreign matter except in such trace amounts as might occur unavoidably in good factory practice.
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.
