Especially in our Tripett cans, where they consist nearly 100% of pure green tripe (exception to formulas which include other fresh meats), you may see the colour, consistency, and texture vary more then a typical canned food product. This is because Green Tripe, as the stomach lining of a ruminant animal, comes from up to four different stomach chambers, each with varying textures and colouration, and consistencies. Colour can appear light beige to dark charcoal greys and blacks. Again, being nearly 100% pure green tripe, excluding all fillers, these variations to not get blended out with highly consistent typical ingredients, as in many other canned food products.
