The seasonings and what have you are often tested by the npd crowd
This is the “at some stage” portion, I assume (tho I don’t understand the lingo you are using tbh)
Dry foods are bland and flavorless kibbles without the flavor coating, often using the same meal for multiple lines, so you just test the coating. But other products don’t have that luxury, like wet foods and treats that have soft core or whatever.
Obviously nobody is consuming it as a diet, but they do test it :)
What testing is done is that core temps are monitored, moisture levels checked and there’s micro testing for bacteria and what not. Its all also run through metal detectors at multiple stages throughout the process.
This should theoretically be safe for human consumption but all of the unprocessed meat is marked as cat 3 and isn’t fit for humans. A company would be opening themselves to liability if they were to make people test it.
