Poultry (species not named)
Also appears on labels as: poultry, poultry meal, poultry by-product meal, poultry by-products, poultry by product meal, poultry byproducts
Poultry meat, meal, by-products, fat, liver or broth, listed without saying which bird. It can be chicken, turkey, duck or another.
Watched ingredients get highlighted on every product panel you open.
- Where it comes from
- Poultry processing. The label does not say which species.
- Why it's in the product
- Protein, fat or flavor, the same jobs as the named versions.
- Safety and toxicity
- No known concern of its own, and no flag. Without a species you can't tell which bird it is, so if your pet avoids chicken, turkey or duck, read it as possibly that bird.
General reference, not veterinary advice. Dose, breed, and existing conditions change the answer, so talk to your vet before changing what your pet eats. Think we got this wrong? Tell us and we log it publicly.
