Why is the %DV different across the meat products when they all have 5g protein?Updated 2 years ago
The %DV that appears on our meat pouches varies by flavor because not all proteins are created equal. The percent daily value is not calculated based on the 5g of protein present in each pouch, but by the quality of protein that each ingredient contributes. Protein quality is dependent on the amino acid profile of each ingredient and the amino acids present in one, like Chicken or Salmon, are very different from the amino acids present in another, like Beef or Bison.
