"Dried residue from corn after removal of the larger part of starch and germ."
A protein source derived from corn processing. High in protein on paper, but corn protein has a poor amino acid profile for dogs and cats compared to animal-based proteins. Often used to boost protein percentage without more expensive meat.
A real but unresolved concern: often an ongoing FDA/AAFCO research question (like the grain-free/DCM investigation), a common allergen, or a vague-but-not-alarming label claim. -2.5 pts deducted.
