It is commonly classified into\ntwo main categories (1) soluble fiber and (2) insoluble fiber. Soluble fibers dissolve in water and\nare often fermented by bacteria in the large intestine. Insoluble fibers, on the other hand, do not\ndissolve in water and generally pass through the digestive system with minimal fermentation.\n","sources":["US FDA / USDA APHIS — GUARANTEED ANALYSIS (retrieved 2026-07-18)"],"source":{"authority":"US FDA / USDA APHIS","title":"GUARANTEED ANALYSIS","url":"https://www.fda.gov/animal-veterinary/","retrieved":"2026-07-18","ref":"","doc_type":"official PDF","source_document":"PFI (Pet Food Institute) labeling guidelines","verification_file":"pfi_pet_food_label_white_paper.pdf"},"source_document":"PFI (Pet Food Institute) labeling guidelines","source_file":"pfi_pet_food_label_white_paper.pdf","trust":{"authority_tier":"T1","fidelity":"verbatim","license":null,"display_grade":"A"},"tokens_estimated":736,"generated_at":null,"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."}
