NAMED ANIMAL PROTEIN
Chicken By-Product
Also printed as “Chicken-By Product” on some labels. Same ingredient.
The parts of the chicken left after the flesh is removed, such as organs and frames, used fresh rather than rendered.
Why it turns up in dog food
- Real nutrition from organ tissue, but it is fresh rather than rendered, so much of it is water.

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.
