Flags-4 points in all

Caution-4

Natural flavor

An undisclosed blend. Not harmful per se, but it hides what your pet is actually tasting.

ATransparency

Open Farm

The traceability standout: enter the lot code on their site and see where each ingredient came from. Certified Humane, non-GMO produce, no rendered by-product meals.

Every bag carries a lot code you can trace back to source farms, plus Certified Humane sourcing. One natural-flavor catch-all on the panel. The A grade takes nothing off this product's score.

Third-party lab findings for things that never appear on an ingredient label. This is separate from the score above and does not change it.

We haven't found published third-party lab results (PFAS, heavy metals, phthalates) for this product. That is not a clean bill of health, just an absence of data.
