The first ingredient is Organic Chicken. Organic chicken is meat from chickens that have been raised without antibiotics and fed organic feed. In pet food, organic chicken is a good source of protein and other essential nutrients.

The second ingredient is Organic Chicken Meal. In pet food, organic chicken meal is often listed as a source of protein. Organic chicken meal is produced by baking and grinding chicken meat and skin from chickens that have been raised without antibiotics and fed organic food.
