Water that meat or vegetables were cooked in, carrying dissolved protein, minerals, and flavor.
Watched ingredients get highlighted on every product panel you open.
- Where it comes from
- The manufacturer's own cook step, or purchased in bulk.
- Why it's in the product
- Adds moisture to wet food and carries flavor. It also legitimately raises water intake, which matters for cats prone to urinary problems.
- Safety and toxicity
- Safe. It contributes little nutrition by weight, so a broth high on a wet-food panel mostly tells you how much of the can is liquid.
