Flags-32 points in all

5 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.

Avoid-16

BHA (preservative)

A preservative flagged as a possible carcinogen in animal studies; many brands have dropped it.

Caution-4

Meat and bone meal

An unnamed-mammal protein with high bone content; the least transparent protein you can buy.

Caution-4

Animal fat

Rendered fat from unnamed species, and the ingredient where BHA most often hides.

Caution-4

Added sugar

A sweetener with no nutritional job; it adds calories and nothing else.

Caution-4

Sulfite preservatives

A sulfite preservative, not the curing salt sodium nitrite; sulfites destroy thiamine (vitamin B1).

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.

  • Oct 24, 2026 Panel Score 63 → 59: added a caution for Animal fat. The panel lists “animal fat (preserved with BHA)”. Until October 24, 2026 our library read a line like that as the preservative alone; a fat that names no animal and the BHA that preserves it are two things we flag, so the line now raises both.
  • Oct 16, 2026 “BHA and BHT” is now “BHA (preservative)”, and “Sodium metabisulfite” is now “Sulfite preservatives”. The score did not change. The panel lists BHA and no BHT, so the flag now names what the panel prints. The sulfite flag now carries the name of the entry that covers every sulfite preservative.
  • Sep 22, 2026 “Corn syrup” is now “Added sugar”; “Sodium nitrite” is now “Sodium metabisulfite”. The score did not change. The panel lists cane molasses, not corn syrup. The panel lists sodium metabisulfite, a sulfite preservative, not the curing salt sodium nitrite.
