This is easy for the average person to figure out. This is the chicken "flavor".

Ingredients
Ground yellow corn, ground wheat, soybean meal, meat and bone meal, animal fat preserved with mixed-tocopherols (form of Vitamin E), egg and chicken flavor, chicken by-product meal, corn germ meal, corn gluten meal, propylene glycol, animal digest, phosphoric acid, sugar, salt, potassium chloride, sorbic acid (a preservative), calcium propionate (a preservative), choline chloride, tricalcium phosphate, Red 40, zinc sulfate, Yellow 5, Vitamin E supplement, ferrous sulfate, manganese sulfate, niacin, Blue 2, Vitamin A supplement, calcium carbonate, copper sulfate, Vitamin B-12 supplement, calcium pantothenate, thiamine mononitrate, garlic oil, pyridoxine hydrochloride, riboflavin supplement, Vitamin D-3 supplement, calcium iodate, menadione sodium bisulfite complex (source of Vitamin K activity), folic acid, biotin, sodium selenite. A-4341

Look how far meat is down the ingredient list. Also it's not a named meat it’s just “meat”, probably whatever meat was on the bone which made the meat and bone meal. Even lower than that is the "chicken by product meal". Now there is nothing wrong with chicken meal, but you don't want "chicken by product", it means all the parts that aren't used in other things. I think there are better choices than this food.
