With processed chicken bi-products there is the issue of bacterial contamination at processing. Chickens are a natural reservoir for salmonella, the bacteria being commonly found in the gut and faecal material. When the birds are stressed, the bacteria can multiply in large numbers, which creates a food hygiene issue. During the slaughter of birds, the viscera (organs and intestines) are removed from the abdominal cavity, and it is quite common for fluid from the intestinal tract (containing bacteria, and often, salmonella) to spill out onto the abdominal cavity wall, thus contaminating the carcass. This does not generally affect the breast, legs and wings that are collected for human consumption, but the carcasses, which are then minced up for pet meat, can have a cocktail of micro-organisms included. This is the primary reason why chicken mince spoils very quickly, and is most commonly sold frozen – it just doesn’t keep. Was this meat allowed to sit for any length of time in warm conditions, it is very possible that you would end up with a very nasty, and potentially dangerous, brew. Luckily for our pets, cats will simply not eat “off” meat, and dogs have a cast iron constitution, which is nowhere near as sensitive to the presence of bacteria, even salmonella, as us humans, and may at worst, have a mild bout of gastroenteritis from a bowl of spoiled chicken mince.

Possibly sheds some light on why dogs have periodic reactions?
Google ingredients like chicken in pet food or other bi-products and this opens up a whole world of information into illness, sickness related to the feeds we give our dogs.

there was a dealer in Utah south of boise. ive feed lots of different stuff mixing feeds seems to work well. I now feed black gold your dogs hunt hard they should get the best. as for high standard, bought it in pallets its great at first but its got a chicken base an needs to be ate up. the best thing to do is find out what the availability is ive found food I liked and then the stores quit stalking it.
