"Flavoring derived from a plant or animal source."
Technically natural, but the source is never disclosed. Often animal digest or rendered material used to make unpalatable food taste good. Not dangerous, but a sign of a food that needed help tasting like food.
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.
Rated C (-2.5 pts) by PetPro-tectors™. Technically natural, but the source is never disclosed. Often animal digest or rendered material used to make unpalatable food taste good. Not dangerous, but a sign of a food that needed help tasting like food.
