"Synthetic vitamin A added to meet AAFCO nutrient profiles."
Standard, necessary fortification. Natural whole-food vitamin A (from liver or fish oil) is heat-sensitive and largely destroyed during extrusion or canning, so a synthetic supplement is added back after cooking to guarantee the finished food actually contains what the label promises. Safe at labeled amounts; excess is only a concern if a food is grossly over-supplemented.
No known safety, allergen, sourcing, or regulatory concerns. Full marks — 0 pts deducted.
