Single-protein wording needs a clear scope. Ask whether it refers to a highlighted meat, all animal-derived ingredients or another defined part of the recipe.
What to check
| Check | What to verify |
|---|---|
| Definition | Request the company's meaning of the claim. |
| List | Record fats, flavors and other named animal ingredients. |
| Evidence | Keep the response tied to the exact food. |

Request the company's meaning of the claim.
Record fats, flavors and other named animal ingredients.
Keep the response tied to the exact food.
A practical example
A chicken recipe headline does not answer whether the formula contains other animal-derived components. The full list remains necessary.
Before you decide
Do not turn a marketing category into an allergy guarantee.
