Generic meat meal / animal fat in dog and cat food

How it appears on a label

Pet-food labels vary by market and language, and Open Pet Food Facts carries ingredient tags in several languages at once. This class is matched on meat meal, animal meal, meat and bone meal, animal fat, animal digest, tallow, with accents folded so an Italian or French label resolves to the same flag.

How it affects the score

Generic meat meal / animal fat is a quality concern and caps a product's score below 50 on its own. Open Pet Food Facts has sparse nutrition coverage, so pet scoring is driven by the ingredient list rather than by a nutrition table.

This is not veterinary advice

The flags here are class-level and precautionary. If an animal has eaten something on the toxic list, call a vet or a pet poison-control line — not an app.
