INGREDIENT
Vegetable Oil
Oil from an unspecified plant source, used as an energy and fatty acid source.
Why It Turns Up In Dog Food
- Supplies energy and linoleic acid. The generic name means the plant source is not disclosed, which is less transparent than a named oil.
An ingredient on its own tells you very little.
What matters is how much of it there is and where it sits in the list. That is why we weigh
the top five rather than reacting to any single name further down.
