My understanding of 'meal' is it contains all the beaks, claws, hoofs, hair, scales, etc. of the protein and 'by-products' is the soft flesh of the animal such as the internal organs of the protein listed as the main ingredient i.e. poultry or beef.
Please correct me if I have had it wrong all these years.
