this is their corn claim...


CORN
Our corn comes from a select group of growers in the mid-west and is certified non-GMO (Genetically Modified). The non-GMO is another concern for pet enthusiasts. Corn is 91% digestible, one of the best sources of linoleic acid and Omega 6 & 3 fatty acids, provides essential amino acids and fiber. Corn is nutritionally superior grain compared with others because it contains a balance of nutrients not found in other grains, and it is known as the "King of Carbohydrates". Back to BasicsĀ® corn is more expensive than most because it is human grade!

see.. i thought so too..granted pork works wonders with titan...we actuall give him raw pork and he loves it..but besides that there is a breeder of mastiffs that actually makes the food....but anyway, i can try a different one. I just figured that for going to shows it would be easier bringing kibble verses raw.
