And as far as I'm concerned an organic pet food is the ONLY guarantee that there's nothing nasty in it as it's been check by the certifying organisation.
But there's lots of interesting info on the site about rendered meat meal... |
just had a look over the website and I couldnt really find information- all that I could find was this whch states "Dry blood meal: An inexpensive source of poor quality protein in some dog and cat foods. It is very indigestible."

and this

which links to
AAFCO Home Page a control organisation for food regulation.
Are you sure your not confusing agricultural feeds with pet feeds. In the UK a good few years ago there were reports of agricultural animals being back fed rendered dead animals as part of their regular feed routine, this has since been reviewed and is totally apart from the processes used in pet foods. Though yes I do see your concern, this is a totally seperate issue and I cant find anything on the use of decarying animals in pet foods
