    This document provides a decision tree to help determine if a material is suitable to be used as an animal food ingredient. It asks a series of yes or no questions about the material's intended purpose and properties. If it is intended to boost immunity, treat or prevent disease, or cannot be produced consistently, then it is not suitable for animal consumption. Materials that make it through the full decision tree without those characteristics are likely suitable animal food ingredients.
