So, what is mea-hydrolyzed animal protein?

Mea-hydrolyzed animal protein is a protein derived from animal sources that has undergone hydrolysis, a process that breaks down large protein molecules into smaller peptides. This results in a more easily digestible form of protein that can be added to a wide range of foods to improve their nutritional value. Mea-hydrolyzed animal protein is often used as a flavor enhancer and to provide a rich source of amino acids for building and repairing muscles. It is commonly found in processed foods such as soups, sauces, and snack foods. Despite its benefits, some people may be allergic to animal proteins and should avoid products that contain mea-hydrolyzed animal protein.
