Ingredient Review

Our review of Fancy Feast Gourmet Filet Oceanfish Salmon & Accents of Garden Greens Dry Cat Food begins with a detailed look at the food’s ingredients.

The first 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 second ingredient is Poultry By-Product Meal. Sometimes abbreviated as PBM, poultry by-product meal is cooked, finely ground protein made with clean, rendered parts of chicken, turkey, and other poultry carcasses. The poultry by-product meal in pet food can contain bones, internal organs, and undeveloped eggs; it is considered to be of low quality and is less digestible than chicken meat.

The third ingredient is Corn Gluten Meal. Corn gluten meal is produced as a byproduct from the manufacture of corn syrup and other sweeteners made with corn. It contains no wheat gluten. The corn gluten meal in pet food is a source of inexpensive protein, but it has high levels of cysteine, which have been linked to the formation of urinary stones.

The fourth ingredient is Animal Fat. Animal fat is a general term for fat from unspecified animals that have been rendered. In pet food, animal fat can be added to other ingredients to increase overall fat content and support the absorption of fat-soluble nutrients.

The fifth ingredient is Vitamin E. Vitamin E is a fat-soluble compound. This antioxidant provides protection against free radicals, and helps prevent vitamin E deficiency, which can lead to nerve problems. Vitamin E helps your pet’s immune system, eyes, liver, heart, muscles, nervous system, skin, and coat.

When we analyzed the ingredients in Fancy Feast Gourmet Filet Oceanfish Salmon & Accents of Garden Greens Dry Cat Food, we found that most of the protein is derived from plant based sources.
