Where do I start???
The first thing I always do is check the qualifications of the individual/company promoting. This is from their website
Having 4 dogs, horses, chickens, sheep and living on a farm does not make you an expert in canine nutrition. No other information about how this diet was developed, tested, manufactured ...
Next: You will see a note at the bottom of the page
Feeding raw is another issue I have and will be disputed by some here and is really another topic. BUT, if I was going to feed raw, hamburger would be the LAST thing I would use or recommend. I suppose they feel they have things covered with the statement above, but every food safety expert or agency recommends ALWAYS thoroughly cooking ground meats. So how can they in one statement say use precautions handling raw meat and promote feeding it raw???

NOTE: Remember you are handling raw meat so use common sense when making, storing and serving this food. Use the same precautions you would use when handling raw meat for your family.
