Thank you for contacting us regarding Holistic Select. We are the corporate office and represent Old Mother Hubbard, Eagle Pack, Holistic Select and Wellness.
Many of our ingredients are human grade, though some specialized ingredients such as chicken meal and tomato pomace (for soluble fiber and antioxidants) would not be found in grocery stores.
We are not currently allowed to use the term "Human Grade"on our packaging per AAFCO (Association of American Feed Control Officials) regulations. AAFCO needs to officially define the term in order for it to be used. Also, keep in mind that "human grade" is a great way to talk about quality but our formulas are made specifically to meet the nutritional requirements of canines and felines and should not be promoted to be consumed by humans as a low cost diet.
