Cereali
FineExposure route: Ingested
Cereali just means 'cereals/grains' — a normal carbohydrate ingredient, not a chemical additive.
This entry is a generic food category (grains like wheat, corn, rice, oats) rather than a specific additive. Grains are a normal source of energy and some nutrients in pet food, and are safe for the vast majority of pets and people.
Why it matters
'Cereali' is Italian for 'cereals' or 'grains'. It's not a single chemical — it's a broad ingredient category covering things like wheat, maize (corn), rice, barley or oats. In pet food, cereals are usually added as an energy source (carbohydrates) and sometimes for fibre or texture. This is one of the most common and long-used ingredient groups in both human and animal food, so there's nothing unusual or novel about it.
