However,\nNAS has been done several acceptable ways in the past. There isn’t a specific statement other than the (name\nof product), so we have to look for guidance information.\nFor example, take a look, if you have a copy, at the Pet Food Labeling Guide Label\nexamples in the back.\n4\n","sources":[],"tokens_estimated":708,"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."}
