Explanation:
My guess would be that meat and fish components are listed separately and further down the list.

agree  Michael Korovkin: yes, they are listed starting with the primary ingredient in terms of its perecentage in the product, rather than"importance".That's the law for both the NAFTA and the EU. But to think that the main ingredient of Scotch is water! Like a bloody watermelon!

are not listed as main ingredients


Explanation:
.....la prima voce a cui prestare attenzione quando leggiamo le etichette alimentari è anche la più importante: la lista degli ingredienti che viene per legge scritta in modo tale che il primo ingrediente sia quello maggiormente presente e via così, in ordine decrescente.

Ingredients list
Most pre-packed food products also have a list of ingredients on the packaging or on an attached label. The ingredients list can also help you work out how healthy the product is.
Ingredients are listed in order of weight, so the main ingredients in the packaged food always come first
