- Where it comes from
- Fruit processing, often the dried or freeze-dried fraction.
- Why it's in the product
- Antioxidant polyphenols and vitamin C. Cranberry is included for urinary tract claims specifically.
- Safety and toxicity
- Safe. The cranberry-for-UTI evidence in pets is thin, and the amount in a food is far below any studied dose. Cherry pits contain cyanogenic compounds, but pet food uses pitted fruit.
