There are no laws that regulate what goes into pet food -- you can literally throw poison in pet food (which is routinely done -- ethoxyquin is a poison and is commonly used in pet foods), and it's not illegal. That's why so many companies get away with putting euthanised pets and roadkill in their food. Just because a food is AAFCO approved, does not mean it's good. All AAFCO does is make sure the food has so much protien and so much fat to make it edible (which is very innaccurate considering the amount of undigestible vegetable protien, not to mention how little vitamins are left after overprocessing the food). You're right caseysmom, it's all about profit. It's quite sad.
