It comes from fresh live meat. Unless you are feeding your cat live prey, you need to supplement taurine. Even if you are feeding raw meat you need to supplement because Taurine is lost in both grinding and freezing.

For all those that are feeding a 100% raw meat diet, you also can't just feed ground turkey/chicken/beef without including organ meat and bone which are critical for a cat's health. Google "hare today" for a fantastic source for ground meat WITH organ meat and bone included.

For supplementation of raw meat Google alnutrin which is an already prepared supplement made specifically to add to fresh raw ground meat. They offer two varieties. One to add to just ground meat (providing what is missing due to the lack of organ and bone) and one to add if you are getting ground meat/bone/organ.
