A Message From Dave –
Magnesium & Phosphorous Restricted Diet- Pork Recipe
The  only reason why the formulas are now “for intermittent feeding only.” is the  lower protein, phosphorus, and or  magnesium levels  made the new formulas not meet the AAFCO standards for a regular diet…which is why you needed a ‘restricted diet’ in the first place.   Truth is, we (and AAFCO) really don’t want the pet on this type of diet unless it needs to be, so it is good to have that on the label.
Here is the AAFCO requirement for adult maintenance phosphorus and magnesium for cat food vs ours
