CAN MEOW MIX ACTUALLY SPEAK ON PUBLIC RECORD REGARDING THE MANY IN DEPTH NUTRITION QUESTIONS FOR CATS?
That’s the question. As brought to light in “Pet Fooled” on NETFLIX, Dr. Karen Becker makes a statement regarding how many companies may shy away from important nutritional questions because they can be “too difficult to answer honestly, openly, or appropriately that can put them in a compromised position”.
Is Meow Mix one of those brands?
Or will they defy that logic and step up to answer very important questions below?
MEOW MIX REFUSES TO ANSWER QUESTIONS OVER THE PHONE
Meow Mix did indeed refuse to answer questions over the phone. They instead instructed all questions to their conglomerate owner J.M. Smucker. Why would J.M. Smucker answer questions about Meow Mix and not someone from Meow Mix? That’s…odd. Are these simple questions too difficult to answer on public record?
QUESTIONS FOR RAY HANCART AT J.M. SMUCKER
- Why are carbohydrates included in foods for obligate carnivores for which the class of carbohydrates nutrients aren’t essential nutrients?
- Is Meow Mix concerned about the biological effects relating to carbohydrates, sugar, and long term health on the digestive systems of cats?
- Is there any information that Meow Mix has scientifically regarding the long term health effects of cats eating no carbs compared to the percentages of carbohydrates found in Meow Mix foods?
- Does Meow Mix prefer cat owners to feed this food every single meal as 100% ideal nutrition? (this is different than what AAFCO defines as 100% complete and balanced)
and/or
- Does Meow Mix consider their diets to be more like fast food in regards to quality and cats shouldn’t be consuming these diets every single meal for their entire lives? (Similar to humans eating potato chips every single meal)
WHAT IS A SUBJECT MATTER EXPERT?
- You have mentioned that there are subject matter experts that can answer questions. I have never heard that term before. What does that mean?
- You have mentioned that subject matter experts occasionally participate in media interviews. Where can a consumer find public interviews or participation of these subject matter experts in media interviews?
BISTRO RECIPES ROTISSERIE CHICKEN FLAVOR
- With the Bistros Recipes Rotisserie Chicken Flavor food, there’s a picture of a big chicken that looks like Rotisserie chicken. I’m seeing chicken as the 6th ingredient on the ingredient panel. Can you confirm if there is more than 3% or less than 3% chicken in the food?
- What does J.M. Smucker say regarding the definition of “flavor” in regards to this product?
- What is the moisture content of the food or the amount of moisture found in the food?
- What does essential vitamins and minerals mean which is on the front of the package?
- Are carbohydrates essential nutrients?
- Is the chicken inside Bistro Recipe Rotisserie Chicken Flavor food actual rotisserie chicken that the picture shows?
- With Ground Yellow Corn being the first ingredient on the package, why isn’t ground yellow corn displayed on the package like the rotisserie chicken on the plate?
- With chicken by product meal being the second ingredient on the package ingredient list, why isn’t chicken by product meal being displayed on the front of the package like the rotisserie chicken when chicken by product meal is the second ingredient and chicken is the 6th ingredient?
- Soybean meal is listed on the package as the 3rd ingredient but I don’t see it on the front of the package. Why?
- Corn gluten meal is the 4th ingredient. Why isn’t corn gluten meal displayed on the front when there’s more corn gluten meal in the package than there is chicken?
- Why isn’t beef tallow shown on the front of the package when there’s more beef tallow in the food than chicken?
- Is the chicken found in this food feed grade chicken or human grade chicken?
- I see that the package says MADE IN THE USA. Are all the ingredients sourced in the USA?
- Is Bistro Recipe a marketing term or a legal term?
