Sottoprodotti di
This isn't a specific ingredient — it's a fragment meaning 'byproducts of' in Italian.
'Sottoprodotti di' is Italian for 'byproducts of', normally followed by a source like 'animal origin' or 'vegetable origin' on pet food labels. As given, the name is incomplete, so no real safety assessment is possible.
Why it matters
Pet food labels in the EU and Italy often list generic categories instead of exact ingredients, using terms defined by EU feed law (Regulation (EC) No 767/2009). 'Sottoprodotti di origine animale' (animal-origin byproducts) or 'sottoprodotti di origine vegetale' (plant-origin byproducts) are common examples. These are broad categories that can include things like meat meal, offal, bran, or plant hulls — the exact material isn't named. What we have here is just the first two words, 'sottoprodotti di' ('byproducts of...'), with nothing after it, so it's a data fragment rather than a complete ingredient name.
