What intrigues me though is that you hear people speaking out against supporting this company by not buying food, but look how many OTHER ways the company gets support. So it's like people are only taking a stance against the company when it's convenient for.

Some testing is required. I believe the extent of it has to do with feeding the food to a group of animals for a period of time. They have to feed it to the animals that are within the lifestage of the recommendations on the package. It has to do with AAFCO to some extent. Wellness does feeding trials but no medical procedures as far as I know.
