What is a natural balanced pet food with added vitamins and minerals?
“Natural” means using preservatives, flavors and other ingredients which fall under the regulatory (AAFCO) definition of natural. Synthetic preservatives, synthetic stabilizers, artificial flavors, etc., would not be allowed under the natural designation. The only exceptions are the vitamin and mineral supplements that cannot be obtained naturally, and are “acceptable” additions to “natural” formulas with the proper designation.
