I think it would depend upon who was making the food at any given
time. Wal-Mart goes out to bid, lowest bid gets the job.

Just to clear up some misconceptions. Animal digest as defined under
AAFCO is:

9.68 Animal Digest is a material which results from the chemical
and/or enzymatic hydrolysis (water break down) of clean and
undecompopsed animal tissue. The animal tissue useed shall be
exclusive of hari, horns, teeth, hooves and feather, except in such
trace amounts as might occur unavoidably in good factory practice and
shall be sutiable for animal feed. If it bears a name descriptive of
its kind of flavor(s), it must correspond thereto.
end of AAFCO definition.

Basically animal digest is used for flavoring. A manufacturer may
produce 10 or 15 different "flavors" which are all identical except
for the digest used to give the food flavoring. The vast majority of
"digest" is internal organs. Thus if you want to produce a lobster and
goat flavored food (I'm being facetious here)you would gather together
lobster and goat internal organs, subject them to enzymatic and water
breakdown hydrolisis and then apply it to the food. Now you have
Lobster Goat flavored food.

It is *hugely* unlikely that pentabarb had anything to do with any
problems you may or may not have had. There is simply no data to
support that thesis.
