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.

Meaty Ground Dinner With Beef & Bacon
Proceed with caution
Scored September 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.
Carrageenan
A seaweed thickener linked to gut inflammation in some lab studies.
Added color
Color added for the buyer's eye, not a synthetic dye; your pet does not care what color it is.
Onion
An allium whose thiosulfates damage red blood cells; flavoring amounts sit well under a toxic dose, but onion is several times more potent than garlic and cats are the most sensitive.
Garlic
An allium that damages red blood cells at high doses; flavoring amounts are considered safe, but cats and some breeds are more sensitive.

This page was corrected once.
- 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 and iron oxide (color), not a synthetic dye such as Red 40.
