Is the meat in the dog food really meat? The truth is amazing
2021-05-23
With the continuous innovation of dog food products, many dog owners will notice the ingredient list when buying dog food. The ingredients on the dog food bag are often marked with “chicken powder”, “beef powder” and “kangaroo meat powder”. As a result, many dog owners have always thought that meat is ripened and dehydrated into powder, then the main ingredients are still meat! In fact, meat powder is made up of these things!
The meat by-product powder comes from the fact that the slaughtered mammal has no melted, clean parts other than meat. These include, but are not limited to, lung, spleen, kidney, brain, liver, blood, bone, and partially low-fat adipose tissue, stomach and intestines, and their contents. Does not include hair, horns, teeth and hooves.
Poultry by-product powders come from the bodies of slaughtered poultry including ground, processed, clean parts such as the neck, feet, unborn eggs and intestines, excluding feathers and small portions that are inevitable during processing.
In 2004, a report to the Congress called “Animal Processing: Economics and Policy” showed the definition of the industry and the processing: In most procedures, raw materials are processed into uniform specifications and then further cooked or divided. Batch cooking - removes fat from proteins and bones by evaporating water.
Continue to separate the fat using conveyors, presses and centrifuges. The separated fat (such as butter, lard, yellow grease) enters a separate container, and solid proteins (such as bone meal, bone meal, poultry meat meal) are pressed into a cake for further processing. Other processing systems include extracting proteins from slaughterhouse animal blood or restaurant fat waste. This restaurant waste oil is usually reused (usually 55 gallons a barrel) and is commonly used as a yellow grease in non-human food, animal feed. The report to Congress elaborated on more disturbing processes, including sources of raw meat used to make pet food by-products. Here are some direct excerpts (some particularly striking truths): About 47 billion pounds or more of animal feed is converted into about 18 billion pounds a year by processing. Sources of these raw materials include slaughter and processing meat (the most important part); farms, pastures, farms, barns, animal shelters and other dead animals; and fats and oils recovered from restaurants and shops. And other waste.
The processing plant treats dead animal and animal organs into a variety of materials, including edible cooking oils as well as inedible animal fats, lard, and proteins such as MBM. These materials are either exported or sold to domestic manufacturers and are widely used in industrial and consumer products such as livestock and pet foods, soaps, pharmaceuticals, lubricants, plastics, personal care products, and even crayons.
Poultry farms and pet food manufacturers account for 66% of the domestic bone meal market. In 2000, the remaining part of 5.7 billion pounds was a farm for cattle and pigs.
Independent companies handle the other 30% - 35% of the materials. According to (NRA [National Processing Association]), there are about 165 such companies in the United States and Canada that typically use specially designed trucks to collect materials from other locations. They choose to deal with fat and bone slag as well as unusable minced meat, blood, feathers, and from poultry slaughterhouses and processing machines (usually smaller, without their own processing equipment), farms, pastures, farms, animals Carcasses in shelters, restaurants, slaughterhouses and markets. As a result, most independent companies may mix all kinds of meat. Almost all ingredients are not edible by humans (eg animal feed, industrial products).
And the animal by-products for human consumption (think of the red sausage, sausage, hot dogs and internal organs) are controlled by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), and these will not be used in animals. Feed and pet food. The report states that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates animal feed ingredients, but does not include ingredients from feed mills or those that purchase processed ingredients. The law does not require this.
These are the past and present of the meat powder, which means that the meat powder in the pet food is actually a by-product made from the unidentified animal carcass. Do you dare to eat dog food for your own dog?
