Hi. I bought some organic fertilizer and it says, "tankage" in the ingredients. What is it, and is it safe to use? It is specifically for veges. 4-3-1.

Tankage: dried animal residues usually freed from the fat and gelatin and used as fertilizer and feedstuff. (Mirriam-Webster)

Likely as safe to use as bonemeal and bloodmeal.
