Optimizing Green Juju’s Limited Ingredient Diets
To provide even more consistent nutrition, we've added concentrated nutrients naturally derived from whole foods to our Limited Ingredient Diets.
New whole food nutrient sources:
Maitake Mushroom: Vitamin B6, Folate, Manganese, Vitamin D
Sunflower Seed: Vitamin B6, Folate, Manganese, Vitamin E, Zinc
Organic Broccoli: Vitamin B6, Folate, Manganese
Why?
At Green Juju, we believe nature provides the best nutrition. Because nutrients naturally vary from season to season and from animal to animal, these whole food-derived nutrients help ensure every recipe delivers the same complete, balanced nutrition in every bite.
How these nutrients are derived from whole foods
We partner with a company that uses a patented process to gently separate the beneficial nutrients from the food's natural structure (known as the food matrix). This allows us to add only the specific nutrients we need, in very small amounts, while maintaining the integrity of our recipes.

Absolutely. Our Limited Ingredient Diets have always been complete and balanced and formulated to provide the nutrition your dog needs. This update is not correcting a deficiency—it's an evolution of our recipe. By using targeted nutrients sourced from whole foods, we're creating even greater nutritional consistency from batch to batch and season to season while staying true to our whole-food philosophy.
These ingredients provide nutrients naturally derived from whole foods—not the whole food ingredients themselves. They are included at very low levels to support nutritional consistency while keeping our Limited Ingredient Diets true to their simple, purposeful recipes.
We don't expect these updates to impact the taste or aroma of the food. The nutrients are highly concentrated and added in extremely small amounts—think of it as a tiny sprinkle rather than adding noticeable amounts of whole ingredients. While every pet has individual preferences, most dogs won't notice a difference.

For example, if we relied on whole mushrooms alone, we would need to include hundreds of times more to achieve the desired nutrient levels. By using concentrated nutrients sourced from mushrooms, we can provide those same benefits with only a fraction of the amount.
Vitamin D - Supports proper calcium absorption, brain health, and overall cell development
Vitamin B6 – Supports metabolism, brain function, and a healthy immune system.
Folate – Helps support healthy cell growth and red blood cell production.
Manganese – Supports healthy bones, joints, and normal enzyme function.
Vitamin E – An important antioxidant that supports immune health and healthy skin.
Zinc – Helps maintain healthy skin, coat, immune function, and normal wound healing.
Together, these nutrients help us provide balanced nutrition while staying true to our whole-food philosophy.
Because these nutrients are derived from real foods, labeling regulations allow us to list the food source (such as maitake mushroom or broccoli) on the ingredient panel. Synthetic vitamins and minerals, on the other hand, are listed by their individual nutrient names. This reflects our commitment to sourcing nutrition from whole foods whenever possible.
We anticipate the updated recipes beginning to arrive at retailers and online by the end of the year. Availability may vary slightly as existing inventory is sold through.
