Meat-and-grain combination products therefore have no dedicated AAFCO ingredient definition; when a pet food product name references a meat ingredient, the AAFCO Model Regulations PF3 naming rules apply instead — the named-ingredient thresholds (95% rule, 25% \"dinner/formula/recipe\" descriptor rule, 3% \"with\" rule, and flavor designations) determine how much of the named meat the product must contain, and ingredient names must appear in order of predominance by weight. Any \"grain-fed frank\" terminology encountered in trade materials is not an AAFCO-defined ingredient class, and inclusion limits attributed to it are not AAFCO criteria.\n","sources":["AAFCO wp-content/uploads PDF — AAFCO Ch6 grain frank (retrieved 2026-07-21)"],"source":{"authority":"AAFCO wp-content/uploads PDF","title":"AAFCO Ch6 grain frank","url":"https://www.aafco.org/","retrieved":"2026-07-21","ref":"","doc_type":"official source","source_document":"AAFCO Model Pet Food Regulations","verification_file":""},"source_document":"AAFCO Model Pet Food Regulations","source_file":"","trust":{"authority_tier":"T1","fidelity":"verbatim","license":null,"display_grade":"A"},"tokens_estimated":119,"generated_at":"2026-07-16","tip":"Use /api/v1/topics to discover more topics. /api/v1/nutrient for precise single-point queries. /api/v1/cross_compare for 2-3 standard comparisons."}
