Ingredient Review
Our review of Authority Chicken begins with a detailed look at the food’s ingredients.
The first ingredient is Deboned Chicken. Deboned chicken is chicken meat with the bones removed. In pet food, deboned chicken is a valuable source of protein.
The second ingredient is Chicken Meal. In pet food, chicken meal is often listed as a source of protein. Chicken meal is produced by baking and grinding chicken meat and skin. As a dry form of animal protein, it is most often found in kibble and treats.
The third ingredient is Brewers Rice. Brewers rice is a byproduct of the beer industry. The brewers rice in pet food has been dried and ground for use as a carbohydrate source, often in gluten-free recipes.
The fourth ingredient is Corn. Corn is a cereal grain that finds its way into countless products. In pet food, corn is usually added as a bulking agent. It is a gluten-free source of carbohydrates for energy and it may offer fiber, vitamins, and minerals as well.
The fifth ingredient is Corn Protein Concentrate. Corn protein concentrate is a protein that is isolated from corn. In pet food, corn protein concentrate can be a source of amino acids and protein. It is normally combined with other protein sources.
When we analyzed the ingredients in Authority Chicken, we found that most of the protein is derived from meat based sources.
