The press launch states “Stewart is leveraging her ardour for dwelling cooking and wholesome diet, in addition to her ardour for pets, to create Martha Stewart Pet Meals. ‘My pets imply the world to me, which is why I insist on feeding them scrumptious complete components like actual rooster, fish, cage-free eggs, and nutrient-dense grains and greens,’ Stewart stated.”
However Martha Stewart’s new pet meals line isn’t made with all complete meals components (that she “insists” on feeding her personal pets). As a substitute, her pet meals are extremely processed made with feed grade components. And, her ‘new’ pet meals usually are not new formulation…they’re disappointingly just like many different manufacturers of pet meals (however strikingly dearer).
The Martha Stewart pet meals line consists of three canine meals and two cat meals, solely dry/kibble pet meals choices. All 5 pet meals embrace feed grade processed components resembling meat meals, pea protein, dried egg product and a number of dried greens. When these processed components are processed once more within the pet meals they grow to be an ultra-processed pet meals.
As if that isn’t disappointing sufficient, the Martha Stewart pet meals are strikingly just like many different feed grade pet meals (which might be far cheaper).

How disappointing.
