ACF

Controversial ingredients · 2

  • meat by-products
    Unspecified species. AAFCO definition allows organs, blood, bone — but the lack of a named source means quality and consistency are not auditable.
  • sodium selenite
    Synthetic selenium source. Selenium is essential, but sodium selenite has a narrower safety margin than organic alternatives like selenium yeast. Better-formulated foods use the organic form.

Every flagged ingredient has a published basis (confirmed harm / regulatory action / precautionary). See methodology →
