Nutro Pet Food Does Not Respond – Truth about Pet Food
Nutro Pet Foods make a similar claim to many other pet food brands – ‘Real Chicken’ or ‘Real Beef’ is the #1 ingredient. With Nutro, they make the claim directly on their label (as opposed to on their website).
We asked Nutro: “What does ‘real chicken’ mean?”
The same pet food label shows an image of whole blueberries and a half of an apple, however we noticed the ingredient glossary on the Nutro website lists these ingredients in powdered form.
We asked Nutro: “And images on your website and label show a half of an apple and whole blueberries. Yet your ingredient descriptions indicate you use powdered forms of these ingredients. Isn’t that misleading to consumers?“
This Nutro brand (Ultra) makes the claim they use “Non-GMO ingredients”. However they include the disclaimer:
“*Trace amounts of genetically modified material may be present due to potential cross-contact during manufacturing.“
How much is trace amounts?
We asked Nutro: “As well, your site has the disclaimer “Trace amounts of genetically modified material may be present due to potential cross-contact during manufacturing.” How much would be considered trace amounts? What would be considered the maximum trace amount?“
Even though these were simple questions, Nutro did not respond. We submitted these questions via the contact form on the Nutro website on 5/2/22 and again on 5/9/22 receiving confirmation both times our message was received. Nutro did not respond to either message.
If Nutro responds, we will share with pet owners.
Wishing you and your pet the best –
