animal digest

Made from hydrolyzed animal tissue of unspecified origin, sprayed on feed to enhance aroma. Ingredient quality cannot be traced. If the source includes euthanized animals, trace amounts of pentobarbital (euthanasia drug) may be present — FDA detected this in multiple major pet food brands in 2018.

Other common names: digest, 動物水解物, アニマルダイジェスト
