It's a filler and should not be used in dog foods as dogs can not digest corn properly....it's cheap *** pet food companies useing cheap fillers instead of meat.
If your dog were in the wild it would not eat corn.

Corn Gluten Meal is a by-product of corn through the wet milling process. Corn gluten is added to absorb the toxins that may be in the rendered parts when added to the cooking process. Corn is the #3 cause of allergies in dogs. Dogs do not digest corn well and would not eat corn in the wild. Corn gluten is a cheap source of protein and is used by many companies as a filler.

Corn gluten meal is a yellowy powder created as a by-product during a milling process of corn. It is primarily used in farm animal feeds, dog food, and fish food. It contains 60% protein and 10% nitrogen.

I use corn gluten meal on my garden to keep weeds from sprouting.
Iams pet food website says "Corn gluten meal is not as digestible as high-quality animal protein ingredients and is deficient in the essential amino acids lysine and tryptophan"
