Friskies Ocean Whitefish & Tuna Canned Formula Cat Food - Pet Food Danger Gauge - 73% Dangerous and Toxic For Pets

Use of by-products. By-products are ingredients used which are not fit for human consumption. By-products are often floor sweepings from a rendering plant. "Animal by-product" is rendered product from animal tissues, exclusive of any added blood, hair, hoof, horn, hide trimmings, manure, stomach and rumen contents except in such amounts as may occur unavoidably in good processing practices." Pet food labels contain the words "meal" or "byproduct" on the ingredient label. Inedible byproducts such as bone, fat, heads, hair, feet and condemned offal are used in commercial pet food. These materials are sent to a rendering plant for processing into pet food products.

Anytime I see a Class Action filed against a company and the products the company produces I would not advise feeding their products to your pets. The pet owners have filed a Class Action against the company for killing their pets.

Natural Flavor. I always like the way pet food companies hide the use of manure in the ingredients. Natural flavor is made from the manure of the animal the pet food company wants the pet food to taste like. If natural flavor were an actual part of the ingredients then natural flavor would not have to be listed as a seperate ingredient.

Meat by-product. Meat can be any recycled animal, including cat or dog, but not one in particular. By-products are floor sweepings collected from a rendering plant. Anything that hits the floor and is not fit for human consumption is by-product. By-products can't have "added" feathers or hair but the ones included in the mess are just fine.

Salt should not be added to a cat or dog's diet.

Purina has a history of pet food recalls.

Potassium Chloride - used as the third of a three drug combination in judicial execution through lethal injection and used for making fertilizer.
