Hello dear Migros team
I have been asking myself for a long time why it is not possible to include a cat food in the range that contains at least 70-90% clear and detailed meat?
Such as e.g.
http://guteskatzenfutter.de/catz-finefood/
All the other cat food brands such as Selina, Sheba, etc. always say only meat and animal by-products.
That means guaranteed some form or waste meat (claws, hooves, udders or feathers)
Why is this not possible?
Thank you for your answer

Dear @Shadow_ZH
I am happy to send you the answer from the person responsible for the product:
We have had Nala cat food in our range since July 2017. Nala is characterized by its particularly high meat content. Nala has no added wheat and is suitable for nutritionally sensitive cats.
We currently have the following Nala products in our range:
NALA ADULT 7+ FL. 800G
NALA ADULT CHICKEN 800G
NALA ADULT BEEF 800G
NALA JUNIOR DUCK 800G
NALA ADULT CALF 6X85G

NALA SNACKS CHICKEN 100G

I hope you find one of the products that your cat likes.
Have a nice evening and a great weekend!

Hello @Elena-Migros
Thank you for your reply.
I am familiar with the Nala cat food. I also think it's a good step that such a food is now in the range.
However, the composition again says meat and animal by-products. Well 65% and 100% of turkey (to give turkey wet food as an example) but I wonder what kind of meat? As far as I know, meat in the industry includes everything from the animal. But what kind of meat is it then? The word by-products as a stand-alone word bothers me enormously. What are these by-products? Claws? Feathers? Beaks?
It's a good move. Keep it up.
As I said, I would be interested to know what kind of meat is used and what these by-products are. Could you find out?
Many thanks

Dear Shadow_ZH, I have a detailed answer to your questions from the person responsible for the product:
At Nala, we only use animal raw materials - also known as animal by-products - which come exclusively from animals that are also suitable for human consumption. We would like to state that the use of claws, beaks or other inferior products does not meet our quality standards at Nala.
We are aware that products with a high proportion of muscle meat are considered to be of particularly high quality. However, it is also the case that organs in particular contain many vital nutrients and are therefore part of a balanced diet. The combination of organs, muscle meat, bone material, connective tissue and fat means that the required nutrient profile can be covered almost exclusively by natural raw materials. This also meets the nutritional needs of cats, which are carnivores and eat almost all of their prey.
With this combination, we try to provide Bein Nala with the ideal nutrition for cats.
I hope we were able to answer your question?
Best regards, Nina
Hello
What do the remaining 40% of ingredients consist of if Nala is 60% meat?
It says on the packaging that the food contains no wheat. What about other cereals and carbohydrates?
Many thanks for your reply.
