"No regulated definition in pet food labeling under federal law."
This term sounds great but is largely unregulated at the federal level. Without third-party verification, it's a marketing claim. Legitimate human-grade pet food companies manufacture in USDA-inspected facilities and can legally document the claim. Most brands using this term cannot.
