"Diets in cases reported to the FDA frequently list potatoes or multiple legumes such as peas, lentils, other “pulses” (seeds of legumes), and their protein, starch and fiber derivatives early in the ingredient list, indicating that they are main ingredients."

Let's all try not to confuse people bc the issues are ingredient related, not just due to being simply grain free.

My comment was mostly related to the fly by night companies that put no research or have no vets on staff those are generally the grain free ones that contain those ingredients. I personally though don’t think grains are the end of the world.
