Alternatively, a European pet food manufacturer may choose to provide a full ingredients list. Since labelling legislation varies from country to country, pet food manufacturers may be required to list all ingredients. For example, [[USA Pet Food Labels|in the USA]], a pet food manufacturer must list all ingredients used providing information about any process used to make the ingredients and the chemical names where appropriate (for example, [[Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) - Nutrition|pyridoxine hydrochloride]] (source of vitamin B6). A glossary of commonly used ingredients in the EU is provided in <font color="red">Table 2.</font>

!align="left"|<small>A polysaccharide gelling agent, sourced from seaweed, used to create gravies and jellies.  Food grade carrageenan has been extensively reviewed and approved for use in foods, including pet food. Due to pet food labelling regulations food grade carrageenan may appear on the package simply as carrageenan. This should not be confused with degraded carageenan which has been linked to intestinal inflammation and is not permitted in food for humans or pets.</small>
