Flags-36 points in all

6 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.

See the evidence

Caution-4

Animal fat

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

See the evidence

Caution-4

Meat and bone meal

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

See the evidence

Caution-4

Natural flavor

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

See the evidence

Caution-4

Meat flavor and digest

A rendered palatant from animal tissue; the vaguer the name, the less you know.

See the evidence

Caution-4

Artificial colors

Dyes that exist to sell the food to you; your pet does not care what color it is.

See the evidence

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.

This page was corrected 4 times.

Oct 24, 2026 Renamed from “Temptations Block Party BBQ” to “Temptations Block Party BBQ Flavor Dry Cat Food”. The web address did not change. The old name read like one of Temptations' treats. The product is Temptations' Adult Complete Nutrition dry food for cats, and the new name is the one on Temptations' own product page, checked on October 24, 2026.
Oct 24, 2026 Panel Score 67 → 55: the score now follows the formula, and “Artificial colors (Red 40, Yellow 5, and friends)” is now “Artificial colors”. The stored score was 12 points above the formula. When the record was rescored in September 2026, its BHA flag, an avoid worth 16 points, was counted as a 4-point caution. Its flags are the same; it now carries the score the formula gives them. The color flag takes the name our library gives it.
Oct 16, 2026 “BHA and BHT” is now “BHA (preservative)”. The score did not change. The panel lists BHA and no BHT. The flag now names what the panel prints.
Sep 22, 2026 Panel Score 71 → 67: added a caution for Meat flavor and digest. The panel lists “FILET MIGNON FLAVOR”. Our ingredient library did not recognise that wording until this line was added on September 22, 2026, so the record was not carrying the flag.
