Oli e grassi
"Oils and fats" is a generic label, not one specific ingredient, so its safety depends on what it actually contains.
This entry translates from Italian as "oils and fats," a catch-all term used on some pet food labels instead of naming the exact oil or fat source. Oils and fats themselves are normal, needed nutrients, but without knowing the specific type (vegetable oil, animal fat, fish oil, etc.) or its quality, a precise safety judgement isn't possible.
Why it matters
"Oli e grassi" is Italian for "oils and fats." It's not a single chemical or additive - it's a category name. Manufacturers sometimes use generic category labels like this instead of listing the exact fat source (for example, "sunflower oil" or "poultry fat"). Fats and oils supply energy and essential fatty acids, and are a normal, even necessary, part of most diets, including pet food. The concern with a vague label like this isn't the fat itself but the lack of transparency about its source and quality.
