I just replied a question posted in another forum regarding Nature's Recipe and wanted to share.
On their website, a bold statement was made:-
Beef, corn or wheat may create problems with your pet’s digestive system, skin and coat.*
Unlike many other premium pet foods, Nature’s Recipe® has only highly digestible ingredients — never beef, corn or wheat. Plus the right combination of vitamins, minerals and essential nutrients.
And then you check their ingredient list:-
Lamb, corn, corn gluten meal, lamb meal, poultry fat (preserved with mixed tocopherols), rice, dried egg, beet pulp, animal digest, herring meal, dried chicory root, yeast culture, sodium tripolyphosphate, vitamins (vitamin E supplement, L-ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate (source of vitamin C), niacin supplement, inositol, vitamin A supplement, thiamine mononitrate, d-calcium pantothenate, pyridoxine hydrochloride (source of vitamin B6), riboflavin supplement, menadione sodium bisulfite complex (source of vitamin K activity), beta-carotene, vitamin D3 supplement, folic acid, biotin, vitamin B12 supplement), potassium chloride, salt, salmon oil, phosphoric acid, choline chloride, malt syrup, taurine, minerals (zinc proteinate, ferrous sulfate, zinc oxide, iron proteinate, copper sulfate, copper proteinate, manganese proteinate, manganous oxide, calcium iodate, sodium selenite), L-lysine, L-tryptophan, yucca schidigera extract, rosemary extract, citric acid (used as a preservative).
Makes you wonder huh?
They did put an * there and mentioned it applies to dog food only - The first statement but not the second statement so one is mislead into believing that all their products are corn and wheat free.
