23.01.2022 BEWARE OF KIBBLE MARKETING TRICKS!! Animal protein should be at least the first ingredient in any pet food ... and it should really be the first and the secon...d. But kibble marketers know you’re looking there, so that’s the first place they think of to trick you into thinking there’s more protein in the food than there really is. When you look at an ingredient panel, the pet food ingredients are listed from most to least by weight so whatever contributes the most to the weight of the food will be first on the label. But there’s a trick to this The weight of the ingredient is measured when it’s added to the food not in the final product. And that’s the difference between meats, like chicken or beef, and meals, like chicken meal or beef meal. Meats contain water, which is very heavy, and meals don’t. And no ingredient is affected by water weight more than protein. If you look at this bag of kibble, you'll see that chicken is the first ingredient. Now you might see chicken as the first ingredient and think the protein in this diet is mainly comprised of chicken but you’d be wrong ... Chicken is about 70% water by weight and the ingredient panel only lists ingredients by weight when they’re added to the food. Once it’s processed, this kibble will end up as a dry food and most of the other ingredients that are added to the food are also dry. So that can really make it look like it has more protein that it really does. Let’s assume that when this food is made, they add 40% chicken, 25% corn meal, 15% sorghum and 10% chicken by-product meal, 5% barley and 5% dried beet pulp (and this is completely hypothetical because you have no way of knowing this, but it’s probably not too far off from reality). While the chicken contains water, all of the other ingredients are probably added dry. Once the kibble is processed and dried, the chicken will lose 70% of its weight. So if chicken was added as 40% of the ingredients, then the amount of chicken in the final product after drying will actually be just 12%. So this isn’t actually a chicken food like the label claims ... this is really a corn meal food! There's probably more corn meal than chicken.
