About meat by-products

Meat by-products is a pet food ingredient term that the Association of American Feed Control Officials defines as the non-rendered, clean parts, other than meat, derived from slaughtered mammals, including lungs, spleen, kidneys, brain, livers, blood, bone, partially defatted low temperature fatty tissue and stomachs and intestines freed of their contents, but not hair, horns, teeth or hoofs.[1] The dry rendered form is a separate ingredient, meat by-product meal.[1] It is listed in wet cat foods such as the Fancy Feast Classic Paté recipes.[2]
