For those who were still on the fence, here’s a just released video of
AAFCO’s president finally admitting, on camera, that it’s allowable
(and, in fact, fairly common practice) for rendered pets to end up in
pet food.

Unlike some people, I happen to like full disclosure. I certainly
never disputed that "meat and bone meal" could mean all kinds of
things, including road kill, that I don't particularly want to pay for
my dogs to eat. However, if you buy a quality dog food that lists
ingredients by protein source - for example, chicken meal, fish meal,
herring meal, even poultry meal, chicken fat, etc., that is what's
going to be in the food; it will not contain rendered pets. If you
buy inexpenisve dog food with "meat and bone meal" in the ingredients,
you're going to get what you pay for.
