How do I verify Royal Canin’s Purine‑Low does still list fish bone chips as 'animal protein'? Receipt drops prove a mislabeling?

I pulled an empty cardboard pack from the kitchen drawer and dug up the retail receipts the last time the shop ran a deep clean of their display area.

A quick scan of the micro‑print at the bottom of the sealed bag showed:

• Royal Canin Purine‑Low: Product #RCG‑800‑ST, Batch 220412
• 02–09/26, 90% of units shipped between December 10 and January 3 this year.
• Ingredients listed in packaging: 18 % crushed salmon, 1 % fish bones, 12 % other fish meal.

The receipts also capture an electronic code that identifies exactly which warehouse stored the 27th of the batch. When I compared that code (ALPHA‑WD‑78C) to the local distributor inventory files, I saw it flagged under "Fish Protein & Mineral Additions" – exactly the area they claim to have removed due to Purine restrictions.

Long‑running customers often put it forward as the one Purine‑safe product in the U‑shaped 450‑gm packs. The receipts list an ingredient note

"All protein from processed animal food (see FAQ). Note – The product may still contain bone fragments. Lab tests show up to 5 g/L for some older batches (see docs)."

Hence, this was not a subtle slip: an obvious note telling every shopper that " bone fragments may be present," in a section with the main Purine‑Warning color. What’s worse, the packaging underlines the 9‑th subheading twice to pass off the phrase "Purine Low".

Bottom line—You’ll read this at home to decide whether it’s actually safe. If it truly qualifies as Purine‑Low in FDA terms, you might look at those figures before splurging.

Any members still taking this to all dogs with kidney conditions, is anyone still turning a blind eye while reading that bold line? If someone sees anything not in the paper, post those facts, but stick to receipts—don't blur.

Anyone had real‑world numbers lately?

(P.S. That bit about fish bone chips…you’ll recognise it in a good supermarket’s shelf audit.)
