Disadvantages of Commercial Foods

• Drugs, industrial chemicals, cross-contamination
• Bacteria and viruses
• Mislabeling and vague labeling
• By-products and foods banned from human food supply
• Rancidity and oxidation issues
• During processing, nutrients are often removed and re-added in artificial versions
• Coloring and flavoring sprayed on kibble
