What does “4-D meats” mean and does AFS use them?
A. The term 4-D meat is used to describe dead, dying, disabled or diseased animals, which means animals that have died other than by slaughter. AFS does NOT use any 4-D and/or rendered material in our diets. AFS uses whole, fresh organ meats and meaty bones sourced only from USDA inspected packing houses that have been passed for human consumption or passed by the inspector as suitable for animal foods.
