How much meat is in pet foods labeled as containing “beef” or “chicken”?
Look for the list of ingredients on the package. They are listed in descending order by weight from largest amount to smallest amount. For example, if beef is the first ingredient on the label then the pet food contains more beef than any other ingredient. When an ingredient or combination of ingredients makes up 90% or more of the total weight of all ingredients, these ingredients may also form a part of the product name. For example, if the product contains 90% or more chicken, it may be called “My Brand Chicken Cat Food”.
