Surfin' & Turfin' Favorites Dry Cat Food
Good, check the flags
Scored October 2026 · checkthepanel.com
3 flagged ingredients.
Avoid first. Each flag costs points in the score above; where a flag has an entry behind it, it links to the evidence.
Meat and bone meal
An unnamed-mammal protein with high bone content; the least transparent protein you can buy.
Meat flavor and digest
A rendered palatant from animal tissue; the vaguer the name, the less you know.
Artificial colors
Dyes that exist to sell the food to you; your pet does not care what color it is.

This page was corrected once.
- Oct 24, 2026 Panel Score 83 → 79: “Unnamed animal ingredients” is now “Meat and bone meal”, “Added colors” is now “Artificial colors”, and added a caution for Meat flavor and digest. “Unnamed animal ingredients” was a flag of our own for lines that don't say which animal they come from. We retired it on October 24, 2026 for the entries our library has for those lines, each counted once: “Meat and bone meal” is Meat and bone meal, and the ocean fish meal names no species but our library flags no fish meal. The panel also lists “Liver flavor”, which the record was not carrying. Its color line names Red 40, Yellow 5 and Blue 2, certified dyes, so the color flag takes the name our library gives them.
