Now that you have familiarized yourself with various rules regarding cat food labels, there are times that you will encounter qualifiers that are organic, gourmet, and natural. The Association of American Food Control Officials (AAFCO) has approved these qualifiers.
Organic foods do not require rations. These foods are balanced and complete. With this kind of identification, the nutritious contents are intended for a specific breed. All life stages, reproduction, growth, and maintenance are included in the recognition of AAFCO.
In gourmet, there is also no standard in using the terminology in the label as long as it contains high-quality ingredients.
Lastly, if the cat food is free from chemical additives, it falls under the natural qualifier except for the natural minerals and vitamins.
A sudden change in your pet’s appetite and/or eating habits should prompt a visit to your local animal hospital Cornelius, NC.
