Keep the conflict visible
The reviewed Petco Original Crunch Chicken Liver 16oz page had broad description copy saying the treats never include wheat, while its detailed ingredient list included wheat flour and wheat gluten. The official maker With Liver page also lists those wheat ingredients. This site does not repeat the broad “wheat-free” wording as a verified property of the selected flavor.
Match line and flavor before resolving
A manufacturer may sell both Original Crunch and Grain Free Crunch. A retailer’s shared description can cover more than one family without correctly describing each selected recipe. Check the product code, exact line and flavor rather than assume the ingredient panel is wrong because a banner sounds more appealing. The selected official With Liver list is the reference used in the finder.
Do not invent a reformulation story
The contradiction alone does not establish when a recipe changed or which historical package a customer received. It might reflect stale shared copy, but this site has not independently established that cause. Record both statements and the date, then ask the maker or retailer about the current exact SKU. Do not remove inconvenient ingredients from a transcription to make the page consistent.
Use a practical purchase response
If wheat is a decisive exclusion criterion, the record does not support choosing this selected product on a wheat-free basis. If you are simply replacing the same already reviewed recipe, compare the physical label with the official list and keep the discrepancy in your notes. A refund or return decision still depends on the merchant’s current policy and the actual order; no policy outcome is guaranteed here.
Correct the smallest affected field
After an authoritative clarification, update the claim and its supporting label version rather than silently editing every earlier observation. Save enough evidence to understand why the field changed. This approach also applies to accidental retailer typos such as the Little-Jacs “Green Team” wording: use the official panel, disclose the discrepancy and avoid inventing a novel ingredient or safety conclusion.
What to save when requesting a correction
Send the merchant the exact selected product URL, SKU, flavor and the two conflicting statements. A question such as “Is your brand wheat-free?” is too broad when the brand sells several product lines. Keep a copy of the reply and its date. If the answer concerns a different recipe, request clarification rather than applying it to With Liver. Until the exact contradiction is resolved, the official wheat-containing list remains visible and the broad exclusion claim remains unsupported.
