What is the real difference in Beet Pulp since some companies show “Dried Beet Pulp (Sugar Removed)” on their ingredient list and others only list the words “Dried Beet Pulp”?
All animal nutritionists know that there is absolutely no difference in the two items. All dry beet pulp is the dried fiberous pulp remaining from sugar beets which have been cleaned and had the sugar extracted from them in the process of manufacturing sugar. So, all beet pulp has had the “sugar removed” by the very definition of what the ingredient is! Some companies cleverly try to make you believe that their ingredients are “special” and/or “better” than others with misleading and self serving information. They are counting on you to fall for their marketing tactics. The fact is, beet pulp is a rather costly but very good quality source of valuable fiber and none of it would even exist if the sugar companies weren’t extracting (removing) the sugar from the beets. If you can’t count on a pet food company to spell out in the normal legal terms what their ingredients are without artificially trying to make you believe theirs is different or higher grade, then why would you trust them a
