INGREDIENT
Carotene
A plant pigment that the body converts into vitamin A.
Why it turns up in dog food
- Acts as an antioxidant and serves as a safe precursor to vitamin A, since the body only converts what it needs.
An ingredient on its own tells you very little.
What matters is how much of it there is and where it sits in the list. That is why we weigh
the top five rather than reacting to any single name further down.
