"A stable, synthetic form of vitamin B1 added to meet AAFCO nutrient profiles."
Thiamine is one of the most heat-fragile vitamins in raw meat and grains — extrusion and canning destroy a significant share of what's naturally present, which is exactly why this stabilized synthetic form exists: it survives processing reliably where the natural vitamin would not. Thiamine deficiency causes serious neurological problems in cats especially, so this is a critical, not cosmetic, addition.
