Save it to your pantry and the pantry page flags it if it turns up in an FDA recall we import.
It adds up, line by line.
Every product starts at 96. Flags, the brand's transparency grade and any recall linked to this product take points away. Nothing else moves the number, and no brand can pay to move it.

Scored October 2026 · checkthepanel.com
4 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.
BHA and BHT
A preservative flagged as a possible carcinogen in animal studies; many brands have dropped it.
Meat by-products
Unnamed animal parts. Legal and regulated, but the label tells you nothing about the source.
Animal fat
Rendered fat from unnamed species, and the ingredient where BHA most often hides.
Added color
Color added for the buyer's eye, not a synthetic dye; your pet does not care what color it is.
Every ingredient, top to bottom.
Listed by weight, so the first few lines are most of the food. Tap any line to see what it is and why it's there.

- Oct 24, 2026 Panel Score 64 → 60: added a caution for Animal fat, and “BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole)” is now “BHA and BHT”. The panel lists “Animal fat (preserved with BHA/BHT)”. Until October 24, 2026 our library read a line like that as the preservative alone; a fat that names no animal and the BHA that preserves it are two things we flag, so the line now raises both, and the BHA flag now names both preservatives the line prints.
- Sep 22, 2026 “Artificial colors (Red 40, Yellow 5, and friends)” is now “Added color”. The score did not change. The panel lists caramel color, titanium dioxide (color) and iron oxide (color), not a synthetic dye such as Red 40.
