Restricted or banned. Restricted or banned by a regulator in at least one country.

Under research review. Being studied or re-evaluated by researchers or regulators.

Contextual. Not flagged, but there is a note worth reading.

Standard. Everyday components like vitamins and minerals.

Not yet classified. Not in our dictionary yet. Always still listed.

Counts include what's inside compound entries like vitamin premixes, so they can add up to more than the label's ingredient count.

● Contextual noteOrgan meat without species identification. Published nutrition references describe organ meats as nutrient-dense, but where the label does not name the animal, the species cannot be confirmed, which limits traceability and allergen avoidance. Named organ meats (e.g. chicken liver) are classified separately.Sources: NRC 2006 · AAFCO ingredient definitions

4Pork By-ProductsNamed single-species whole meat▾

5Pork LiverNamed organ meats▾

● Beneficial (well-established)Organ meat from a named animal species, with both the species and the organ identified. Published nutrition references describe named organ meats (e.g. chicken liver, beef heart) as nutrient-dense, naturally rich in vitamins A and B12, iron, copper, and folate. Where the label names only the organ (e.g. "liver"), the animal species is not identified.Sources: NRC 2006 · Nutritional composition data

● Under research reviewA plant-derived insoluble fibre. Provides bulk but limited nutritional value. Acceptable in small amounts; when present as a primary fibre source (top 10 ingredients), it may indicate a high proportion of nutritionally inert filler.Sources: NRC 2006 Nutrient Requirements · Nutritional composition data

7Corn StarchStarch (generic/unspecified)▾

● Contextual noteA concentrated starch used as a digestible carbohydrate source and binder. The source plant is often not specified, which limits traceability; named starches (e.g. potato starch) are shown under their own entries where recognised.Sources: AAFCO ingredient definitions · EU Regulation 767/2009

● Contextual noteLocust bean gum (E410), also called carob bean gum, is a galactomannan polysaccharide milled from the seed endosperm of the carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua). In pet and human food it acts as a thickener, stabiliser and gelling agent. EFSA re-evaluated it in 2017 and set no numerical Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI), concluding no safety concern at reported food uses; it is a permitted additive in the EU and is listed in the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code (INS/additive 410).Sources: EFSA ANS Panel, Re-evaluation of locust bean gum (E 410) as a food additive, EFSA Journal 2017;15(1):4646 · EU Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 additive listing (E 410) · Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code, Schedule 15 permitted additives (410)
