Ingredients: Whole grain corn, meat and bone meal, corn gluten meal,animal fat preserved with mixed tocopherols, soybean meal, poultry by-product meal, egg and chicken flavor, whole grain wheat, animal digest, salt, calcium carbonate, potassium chloride, dicalcium phosphate, choline chloride, zinc sulfate, yellow 6, vitamin E supplement, l-lysine monohydrochloride, ferrous sulfate, yellow 5, red 40, manganese sulfate, niacin, blue 2, vitamin A supplement, copper sulfate, calcium pantothenate, garlic oil, pyridoxine hydrochloride, vitamin B12 supplement, thiamine mononitrate, vitamin D3 supplement, riboflavin supplement, calcium iodate, menadione sodium bisulfite complex (source of vitamin K activity), folic acid, biotin, sodium selenite.

I may revisit feeding Bella Blue Buffalo, but I will NEVER feed her Purina products.
Just looking at that list of ingredients from one of Purina's pet food they should be ashamed talking about quality ingredients. The corn products are most likely from GMO corn along with the soybean meal. There's a strong likelihood the animal digest may contain euthanized animals which would have pentobarbitol in the mix. They are not supposed to use this but who's going to enforce the rules.
