Confused Dissecting Kibble

Someone posted this website link awhile back, sorry, can't remember who it was...just wanted to thank you!

I was looking through here: PET FOOD INGREDIENTS | WHAT IS REALLY IN YOUR DOG’S FOOD?

& find some of the ingredients in the kibble I'm feeding very questionable! I need to go over the probiotics info when I have time, but it's not considered a good thing? The endless search for kibble goes on...maybe I should just home cook for them, it's only for breakfast since they get Honest Kitchen for dinner.

Here's what Mimi & Momo gets for breakfast, I have red bolded the questionable ingredients. I have emailed the company about what exactly is 'natural flavors'? (haven't heard back from them yet as it's the weekend) According to the dog press, it's MSG! I am so shocked & disappointed that I'm feeding them this, I myself can't handle MSG, just a little will give me vienna sausage fingers, make me sleepy & feeling lethargic. Are they also splitting the meat ingredients? Tomato Pomace was a questionable ingredient according to dog food analysis.com.
