What's NOT in Newman's Own Food and Why
NO Poultry by-product meal – ground, rendered, cleaned slaughtered poultry carcass parts such as necks, feet, undeveloped eggs and intestines (and a small amount of feathers). The quality is very inconsistent between batches. Note: By product meals are often derived from 4-D meat sources - defined as food animals that have been rejected for human consumption because they were presented to the meat packing plant as “Dead, Dying, Diseased or Disabled”.
NO Antibiotics or steroids - Long-term daily administration may result in a compromised immune system and destruction of the friendly bacteria living in the intestines that aid the digestion of food and assimilation of nutrients.
NO Chemical additives or artificial preservatives - Chemical antioxidants, such as ethoxyquin or BHA, that were designed to extend the shelf life and reduce fat spoilage (rancidity) of pet foods may cause allergic reactions and affect liver and kidney functions.
NO Wheat, NO corn - Wheat and corn may cause allergies in some dogs and cats.
NO Artificial flavors – Flavor enhancers are produced by the enzymatic liquefaction or hydrolysis of animal tissue. Those made with phosphoric acid are particularly appealing to cats because they produce a "tingling" sensation on the tongue.
NO Artificial Colors and Dyes – Coloring agents provide an artificial "rich and "meaty" look to modify the appearance of highly processed foods and make them appealing to pet owners.
