Delectables® is the number one wet cat treat brand in the world¹ — 5.9 million US households choose Delectables® cat treats for their cats². Every Delectables® treat is made with real cage-free chicken, real wild-caught tuna, real shrimp, real wild-caught salmon, real whitefish, real beef, real duck, or real turkey depending on the recipe, no added fillers, no by-products, no artificial colors and no added preservatives. The Delectables® manufacturing facility is independently audited against sustainability targets and goals confirmed by the SMETA 4-Pillar framework — covering Labor Standards, Health & Safety, Environment, and Business Ethics.
Available at Amazon, Chewy, Walmart, Target, and major pet and grocery retailers nationwide.
Delectables® wet cat treats are made with real, clean proteins including real cage-free chicken, real wild-caught tuna, real shrimp, real wild-caught salmon, real whitefish, real beef, real duck, or real turkey depending on the recipe — no by-products, no fillers, no artificial colors, no added preservatives. Here is exactly what goes into every Delectables® recipe, and what does not.
WHAT'S IN IT
WHAT'S NOT IN IT — ALL ADULT SKUS
Wild-caught dolphin-safe tuna: Delectables® tuna is wild-caught from open ocean waters and certified as dolphin-safe — meaning it is caught using fishing methods designed to protect dolphin populations. This certification applies across all Delectables® tuna-containing recipes.
Cage-free chicken: All chicken used in Delectables® recipes is cage-free — raised without battery cages or restrictive confinement systems.
Check the individual product label for the specific recipe you are buying. Protein varies by SKU.
To maintain supply chain transparency and ethical integrity, the Delectables® manufacturing facility undergoes regular evaluation using the Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit (SMETA) 4-Pillar framework. SMETA is the world’s most widely used social audit methodology, designed to evaluate and improve ethical and responsible practices within business operations and global supply chains.
Rather than issuing a simple pass/fail grade, authorized third-party auditors evaluate the facility, issue detailed audit reports, and establish Corrective Action Plans to address any identified improvements. All compliance data is transparently maintained on the Sedex Platform — making it available to buyers and supply chain partners for verification.
The Four SMETA Audit Pillars
The Delectables® manufacturing facility is evaluated against all four SMETA pillars:
| Labor Standards | Evaluates fair working hours, equitable wages, fair contracts, child labor prevention, and the prohibition of forced labor. |
| Health & Safety | Assesses workplace safety protocols, fire safety, sanitation standards, and emergency preparedness. |
| Environment | Measures environmental responsibility with defined goals by auditing waste management, resource consumption, emissions, and environmental compliance permits. |
| Business Ethics | Investigates corporate compliance, anti-bribery measures, corruption prevention, and fair-trade practices. |
The SMETA audit is an audit methodology, not a certification. It does not issue a certificate or a pass/fail grade. Instead, authorized third-party auditors provide a detailed report alongside a Corrective Action Plan to address any identified areas for improvement. Results are maintained on the Sedex Platform so compliance data can be shared transparently with multiple buyers.
