    I don’t know about this product specifically, but in general, animal food products are not regulated as much as food for people. This means it may not be as safe.

      Depends on the animal and the jurisdiction. As far as I’m aware, dog and especially cat food is more tightly regulated than human food in the US.

      Horse food though? Not so much.

      And almost no other countries are victims of regulatory capture to the degree that the US is.

        That seems hard to believe, considering stuff like the “banana republic” thing - surely, the country that gets couped for the purpose of economic exploitation by a foreign power is captured more thoroughly than a country that had at least somewhat democratic institutions?

          You’d think so, but guess what country the corporations couping with impunity is almost invariably from?

          Past the propaganda, the institutions of the US aren’t actually that democratic. They’ve mostly been designed by and for the rich and powerful from the beginning but especially since the rise of Neoliberalism in the late 70s.
