They say the bulk of the food is before the first fat, and in the case of Beneful, the good meat comes right after the fat, meaning there is VERY little of it in there- even less because the chicken is not dehydrated, so its mass will drop at least 80% during cooking. That means it falls even lower on the ingredient list.
Ground yellow corn, chicken by-product meal, corn gluten meal, whole wheat flour, animal fat preserved with mixed-tocopherols (form of Vitamin E), chicken
And the fact that there are two corns in the top 5 means that the food is very corn-based.
Just so you know, "animal fat" is any animal, including possibly dogs and cats... That applies to any non-specific meat, like "meat meal", or "animal meal". They have found traces of the drug used to euthanize pets in foods with unspecified meats... :sad:
