Question
(read)
Kibblelady,
I called several commercial pet food companies. Including Purina. They do use rendered meats in the food. Do you have any info on rendering plants? I am curious because whether the book is old or not doesn't mean its not true. Even if pets aren't in there ,diseased animals and any food not fit for human consumption is. I went on your site and read your information. In the past I have spoken with the owner of Verus pet foods. He explained the process to me. Their food is transported in a truck that is registered FDA and is inspected upon arrival from Tyson. It is funny that you mention that. I only know what I read and I think the general public needs to know all aspects. I have searched rendering plants and other online articles and they say cats & dogs are included. http://purehealthsystems.com/render.html Even if cats & dogs were not included the parts that are in rendered meat are disgusting. The bottom line is quality pet food with NO ingriedents from China and no rendered meats are out there and are either the same price as commercial foods or a bit more.

Many things need rendered fat
To get the rendered fat yes animals of all kind are used. These meals are used to soaps, detergents ect and not for pet foods. The fact that a plant is rendering euthn pets does not mean the end rendering goes in to pet foods. In the same study the FDA did on pentobarbitol being found in end products after rendering they also did a DNA test and found neither cat nor dog DNA in any pet food used meat meals or animal fat.
Rendered, the word simply , means reduce, convert, or melt down (usually referring to fat) by heat. So, rendered fat is reduced ,converted or melted fat being made. The end product would be called rendered fat or rendered protein. Any pet food using a "meal" is using a "rendered meat."
The problem is how these words start losing their definition because someone decides they *think* that know what it means and start spouting about it and people repeat it. The funny thing is due to their misunderstanding everything they are recommending what they are condemning...rendered meat. My site seeks to make sense of things like this.
Do you find my site helpful at all?
