"Vegetable oil chemically hardened through partial hydrogenation."
Partial hydrogenation creates trans fats — the same compounds the FDA determined were not "generally recognized as safe" and banned from human food manufacturing in 2018 due to cardiovascular risk. That ban does not extend to pet food. There is no nutritional justification for choosing this processing method when unhydrogenated fats and oils are widely available.
Our most serious tier: a documented carcinogen finding, an outright ban in at least one country or species, or an unspecified source that can legally include 4D (dead, dying, diseased, disabled) animals. -5 pts deducted.
