I've always been suspicious about that website and it seems to be supported by "independent Pet Food Stores" as if they sell much safer products. I don't think they like any big brands, do they? Anyhow, I wouldn't worry too much about the Chapman report, it says, Of the 52 products tested, 31 were labeled correctly, 20 were potentially mislabeled, and one contained a non-specific meat ingredient that could not be verified." What does "potentially mislabeled" even mean? Sounds like it means, "it's possible it was mislabeled, but we really don't know. Only one out of the 52 had "contained a non-specific meat ingredient that could not be verified." By the way, they don't say, what the ingredients had claimed they contained, many products just say, "meat by products", so they could have several types of meat and still meet laws. Only 13 of the 20 were dog foods, and the fact of the matter is many small companies don't even have their own processing plant, so unless that plant is cleaned thoroughly between processing, you are going to get other things in the final product. Let's focus on the fact that OVER half the foods tested were labeled correctly. There are some good brands out there, but I think that particular site doesn't want you to believe it's the big brands, but only small independent brands, that take care in processing. I think the reverse is more likely to be true.
