Every ingredient, top to bottom.
Listed by weight, so the first few lines are most of the food. Tap any line to see what it is and why it's there.
28 ingredients. None of the 27 we could check raised a flag. 1 line isn't in our library yet, so we couldn't check it; it's marked Not checked.

This page was corrected once.
- Sep 21, 2026 Panel Score 91 → 94: brand transparency grade set to B. We graded every brand in the catalogue from its own panels. Instinct was ungraded, and the formula scores an ungraded brand as a C, so the grade moved the number.
