Even conscientious consumers couldn't possibly detect the hidden ingredients that can be legally put in pet food, because only about half the actual contents of the pet food are listed on the label due to minimal legal regulations. According to the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO), "Meat by-products is the nonrendered, clean parts of slaughtered mammals other than the meat".
Under the AAFCO guidelines, acceptable meat by-product can include animal lungs, spleens, kidneys, brains, livers, blood, bones, low temperature fatty tissue, and stomachs and intestines freed of their contents. Livers can be infested with worms (liver flukes) or diseased with cirrhosis. Lungs can be filled with pneumonia. If an animal is diseased and declared unfit for human consumption, the carcass is acceptable for pet food.
The most objectionable source of protein for pet food is euthanized cats and dogs. It is not uncommon for thousands of euthanized dogs and cats to be delivered to rendering plants, daily, and thrown into rendering vat - collars, I.D. tags, and plastic bags - to become part of this material called "meat meal." As quoted by: Ann N. Martin (Author of Food Pets Die For).
