Topic Dog Boards / Feeding / What % to be chicken?
- By Emily Rose [gb] Date 15.04.05 12:25 UTC
Sorry for the obscure title :D
Anyway, what I would like to know is what is the legal percentage of meat required for a food to be called say chicken and rice, or lamb and rice?
Thank you :)

You might find the info you require here.

The ingredients must be listed in descending order by weight. They can be indicated using category names, which are laid down by the Regulations, such as 'meat and animal derivatives', 'cereals', 'derivatives of vegetable origin'. Alternatively ingredients can be listed by their own individual names*. When an ingredient is used that does not fall into any of the prescribed categories, its individual name must be listed. In all other circumstances, mixing individual names and category names in the ingredients list is not permitted. If particular attention is drawn to a specific ingredient (eg With Chicken), the percentage of that ingredient component must also be listed.

Quick look at that site gave me no joy, but I remember the minimum requirement being somewhere around 4 % !! (makes you wonder what else is in there, YUK!)
