Why 9296 to start

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.

Flags-4 points in all

1 flagged ingredient.

Avoid first. Each flag costs points in the score above; where a flag has an entry behind it, it links to the evidence.

Caution-4

Natural flavor

An undisclosed blend. Not harmful per se, but it hides what's actually in the recipe.

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.

Independent testing & contaminants

No independent testing on file.

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.

What we look for

This page was corrected once.

  • Oct 20, 2026 Renamed from “Open Farm Homestead Turkey & Chicken Dry Cat Food” to “Open Farm Homestead Turkey & Chicken Grain-Free Cat Kibble”, and replaced the ingredient list with the one on Open Farm's product page. The score did not change and the web address did not change. We re-read the record from Open Farm's product page, checked on October 20, 2026, and took the name from the same page, as for every Open Farm record. Against the list we held, the page adds flaxseed and sunflower oil, no longer lists potassium chloride or dicalcium phosphate, and lists the vitamins and minerals one by one, where we held them as two grouped lines. Natural flavor is still the one caution.

Holding the package and it reads differently? Disputes come straight to us, and any score we change is logged publicly on the corrections page.
