@Aimee, are you unconcerned that any or all animal parts can be (and are) regularly mishandled?
If “integrated” pet-food corporations send condemned and contaminated parts to their own own rendering plants for use in their own product lines, what advantage is there over sending similarly condemned and contaminated parts to independent rendering plants?
I’m at a loss to see what protections a consumer has in integrated processing.
And it seems like fatalism to disregard the mishandling and consequent use of spoiled by-products in pet food because meat parts are similarly mishandled, contaminated, and used in pet food.
