A word on “wheat gluten”
One of the first five ingredients in this food is wheat gluten. Wheat gluten is a protein found in wheat. It is not a meat. Wheat gluten is sometimes used as a filler in cat food, or to “bind” (keep) everything together. Although wheat gluten in cat food is acceptable, it is not ideal for cats, who are carnivorous.
