Natural flavor
An undisclosed blend. Not harmful per se, but it hides what your pet is actually tasting.
Menadione (vitamin K3)
A synthetic vitamin K linked to liver stress in high doses; safer natural forms exist.

The brand behind it.
Natural Balance
A widely available brand with batch-level safety testing and detailed panels across a large recipe lineup.
Publishes a Feed with Confidence testing program and names its vitamin and mineral premix in full; a natural-flavor catch-all keeps it shy of an A. The B grade takes 2 points off this product's score.
