Personally, I'd be leery - the chicken ingredients are first, sure, but
then it's grains and berries and a lot of inessential (arguably bad for
ferret diets) stuff. It does seem to have a hell of a lot of grains and
vegetable ingredients for a carnivore diet.

I don't know how relevant my opinion is to you (as a raw food advocate,
I mean), but I'd personally try to find out what the percentages of the
first two ingredients are like, compared to the remaining ones, before
I trusted it.
