What to watch for
- Pea starch Low risk
Starch from peas, used as a binder in grain-free kibble. Part of the legume load the FDA DCM investigation looked at. - Glycerin Low risk
A sweet-tasting liquid that keeps soft treats moist. EFSA considers it of low safety concern; it adds calories without nutrients. - Natural flavor Low risk
Flavoring from natural sources. Normally safe, but the term can hide which animal or plant it came from, which matters for allergies. - Low protein 10.0%
Below 22% on a dry-matter basis.
Ingredients
Tapioca Starch, Pea Starch, Glycerin, Water, Gelatin, Natural Flavor, Sunflower Oil, Lecithin, Citric Acid, Vinegar, Peppermint, Gum Arabic, Fruit Juice Color, Turmeric, Preserved with Mixed Tocopherols
