In-depth research has shown that many commercial cat foods do not meet the protein needs of cats. This can be the case when a cat food contains mostly vegetable proteins or is made with meat meal or animal meal. The animal proteins in meat meal or animal meal are lower in value than in fresh meat, because the animal meals have already been heavily heated several times before being processed into cat food. Compared to fresh meat, meat meal and animal meal, as well as vegetable protein sources, have lower protein digestibility and biological value, and the same applies to nutrient content. That is why MeatCrisp is prepared from fresh meat only.
