Ingredient Review
Our review of SPORTMiX Gourmet Mix with Chicken begins with a detailed look at the food’s ingredients.
The first ingredient is Ground Yellow Corn. Ground yellow corn is made with cooked kernels from yellow corn species. In pet food, ground yellow corn can be a filler as well as source of inexpensive protein, carbohydrates, and fiber.
The second ingredient is Soybean Meal. Soybean meal is the pulverized, ground remnants of soybeans after soy oil has been extracted. In pet food, soybean meal serves as an inexpensive source of plant-based protein, along with some carbohydrates.
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 Meat Meal. Meat meal is cooked, dried, finely ground meat from animals that have been slaughtered for consumption. In pet food, meat meal can serve as a protein source as well as a source of animal fat, minerals, and amino acids. It might contain meat from several species and quality may be questionable.
The fifth ingredient is Chicken Fat. Chicken fat is a good source of omega-6 fatty acids including linoleic acid. In pet food, chicken fat also adds flavor, improves consistency, and serves as a source of the animal fat pets need for overall wellbeing.
When we analyzed the ingredients in SPORTMiX Gourmet Mix with Chicken, we found that most of the protein is derived from plant based sources.
