Flags-12 points in all

3 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.

Caution-4

Carrageenan

A seaweed thickener linked to gut inflammation in some lab studies.

Caution-4

Natural flavor

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

Caution-4

Sodium nitrite

A curing salt that can form nitrosamines under heat; levels are legally capped.

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 once.

  • Sep 22, 2026 Panel Score 83 → 79: added a caution for Sodium nitrite. The panel lists sodium nitrite, on a line the Open Pet Food Facts transcription ran together with part of the vitamin list. Our ingredient library could not read that line until September 22, 2026, so the record was not carrying the flag.

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