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.

Good, check the flags
Scored October 2026 · checkthepanel.com
2 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.
Natural flavor
An undisclosed blend. Not harmful per se, but it hides what your pet is actually tasting.
Meat flavor and digest
A rendered palatant from animal tissue; the vaguer the name, the less you know.
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.
44 ingredients. 2 of them carry this product's 2 flags and are marked below. The other 42 raised no flag.

This page was corrected 2 times.
- Oct 16, 2026 Panel Score 92 → 88: added a caution for Meat flavor and digest. The panel lists “chicken liver flavor”. Until October 16, 2026 we read that line as chicken liver, the organ meat, so the record was not carrying the flag. It is a flavor, and it now reads as one.
- Sep 21, 2026 Panel Score 96 → 92: added a caution for Natural flavor. The printed panel lists it and our record was not carrying the flag.
