AAFCO Definition: Brown Rice

By Franny Syufy, About.com

Definition: Brown Rice: unpolished rice after the kernels have been removed.

This is not a complete AAFCO definition, but it should be noted that brown rice is a rich source of B vitamins, and is generally deemed to be easier to digest than corn, a popular (and cheap) filler.

Examples:
Owners of cats with food allergies should probably avoid cat foods containing rice in any form.
