Ingredient Review

Our review of Castor & Pollux Organix Tiny Feasts Organic Turkey begins with a detailed look at the food’s ingredients.

The first ingredient is Organic Turkey. Organic turkey comes from turkeys that have been raised without chemicals or antibiotics. It is an easily digested meat that’s relatively low in fat. In pet food, organic turkey might be the primary protein source or it may be part of a blend made with different proteins.

The second ingredient is Organic Chicken Broth. Organic chicken broth is made by boiling organic chicken meat, skin, and bones to obtain nutrients including fat, vitamins, and minerals. Organic chicken broth can only be made with chickens raised without chemicals and antibiotics. In pet food, organic chicken broth increases moisture and improves flavor.

The third ingredient is Water Sufficient. In pet food, the term water sufficient typically refers to the amount of water that is needed to process the rest of the ingredients.

The fourth ingredient is Organic Chicken Liver. Organic chicken liver is one of a few organ meats that come from chickens that have been raised without chemicals and fed organic feed. In pet food, organic chicken liver serves as a source of protein, iron, and amino acids.

The fifth ingredient is Organic Spinach. Organic spinach is a nutrient-dense leafy green that is raised without chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides. In pet food, spinach provides added nutrients including vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

When we analyzed the ingredients in Castor & Pollux Organix Tiny Feasts Organic Turkey, we found that most of the protein is derived from meat based sources.
