Dog Does Better on Commercial Raw Diet than Supermarket Meat...Why?

We've noticed that our pup seems to do better on the commercial frozen raw diets than on the meat we buy at the supermarkets or butcher...any ideas why this is
What does the commercial raw diet have that butcher/supermarket meat doesn't? The ingredients in the commercial diet are the following: meat source (turkey, or chicken, or beef etc. ground up with bone in it), organ meat, some veggies and fruits, apple cider vinegar, and organic sea kelp. As we moved away from these over priced commercial diets, we started buying fresh chicken, turkey, etc from our local supermarkets and butcher at a fraction of the cost, but Barkley's poops got quite loose after we started feeding him this way. We even tried replicating the commercial diet by including veggies and fruit, sea kelp and apple cider vinegar with the supermarket/butcher meat, but it didn't make a difference. Recently we went back to the commercial raw diet to see if things would improve and they did. What am I missing here?
