The other CC thread was closed before I had a chance to post the source of the information. Here it is:

The links won't make sense unless you read the other thread.
I had been wondering how CC could claim that their foods met AAFCO nutrient profile guidelines with a phosphorus value higher than the allowable limit. The AAFCO max is 1.6%. One of CC's formulas is 1.7% min. While looking at their site to get everything straight (was going to ask my dog's nutritionist how this could be possible) I came across something interesting. When clicking on the grain free varieties I went to the feeding guidelines page for each 'flavor'. This is where their statement of AAFCO certification is. I believe it is the Wild Ocean formula that is 1.7% min phosphorus. On the Wild Ocean feeding page it does say it meets AAFCO guidelines. Very confusing since that is not possible. At closer look it reads that their Chicken and Millet food meets AAFCO guidelines. They use their statement from the chicken type for all foods (which is not correct). So it appears that some are not approved but they have decided to make it appear that they are (unless I am missing something).
Probably doesn't matter to some, but to others it does.
Have a good evening, everyone.
