Default Deciphering nutrition labels on raw hide

My fur baby recently had his first bout with acute pancreatitis. He's on the prescription ID wet food now and the Vet said that he can't have his usual milky bones, training treats or rawhide chews with chicken in the middle.

I still want him to be able to have rawhide chews because they have been really good for his teeth but he turns his nose up at un-flavored ones.

I was looking at the dently brand chicken flavored raw hide chews (no chicken in the middle) and it says "not less than .5% crude fat".

That's kind of a confusing statement to me... if it's not less than .5% then how much is it actually?

I want to make sure that I'm not giving him something that will hurt him in the long run.

Thanks!!!
