Why it costs points and sources
Ground shells used as fibre. A dog study found no problems, but pecan shells can carry mould toxins, so we flag them as a caution.

An unnamed category: the label doesn’t say which animal or plant parts are used. It costs points under “What kind of meat?” rather than as a deduction.
