Fed Ex came to my door yesterday. It was a package from my brother. My Christmas present! My husband asked me if it was another chain saw. (My brother actually sent a chain saw a few months ago.) But no, when I opened it up, it was some homemade granola. I tasted it and it was pretty good! My brother actually put a list of the ingredients in the package. He knows I’m now a vegetarian and…I don’t know…maybe he didn’t want me to think he put some chicken boullion cubes in it or something. 
The granola was in two metal tins which each came with a musical chip, so when you opened them, you’d hear Christmas carols…I promptly ripped the music makers off the lid and buried them in the trash.
I have great admiration for my brother…his wife died a few months ago…he’s only 42 and he’s trying really hard not to give up and fall apart. This is extremely difficult for him.
For my new sister-in-law’s birthday this year (which I missed by like two weeks), I sent her a three month fruit-of-the-month gift. She said that each month when the Fed Ex package came, that was a gift in and of itself because it’s so much fun to get packages in the mail.
As to the ingredient list, it sounds like your brother is a very thoughtful man. Some of my veg friends will not eat something if they don’t know what’s in it.
Maybe the ingredient list is for deception purposes, and he’s feeding you disguised meat! Crunchy pork morsels!
