Preen Vegetable Garden Weed Preventer contains corn gluten meal. It is an organic by-product of the wet-milling process, and is sold as a feed ingredient for cattle, poultry and other species of livestock. It has been used in fish food for commercial fish production. Corn gluten meal is also a primary component in some dog food products. Corn gluten meal is 60% corn protein, and it is this high level of protein that inhibits the growth of seeds.
