Why is there not a pork flavored cat food?

You can find pork as an ingredient but not as a flavor. Can any one tell me why?

If you know of a brand that has pork flavored cat food, leave me their name so I can look them up online.

    I don't know why they don't have pork "flavored" meat, but I DO KNOW that they use pork in Science Diet M/D..........diabetes prescription food.

    So......( Mike, I don't know where you get your info from )........apparently some pork IS used in cat food.......

    Hope this helps....Good luck.

    They found that the top allergy as far as meat goes in both cats and dogs is pork and then second to that is Beef. That's why you find many diets that have lamb and rice or fish and potato because that is a common food allergy. Besides cats don't eat pigs even if they were to be let loose you always see them eating fish, birds and of course vermin but there is no food for that. that's why you see foods that are chicken and fish flavored for cats. Most cats prefer chicken type diets but some really do love fish diets as long as its a Cat food and not straight fish or chicken. Cats need an essential dietary requirement called taurine which are found in all cat foods that you can buy.

    Flavored food is just that, flavored. Why don't yout give your cat raw or cooked real pork meat from time to time,

    Just like chocolate, animals cannot eat pork or even pork-flavored snacks. It causes intestinal issues and usually leads to cancer.
