Scored October 2026 · checkthepanel.com
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.
BHA (preservative)
A preservative flagged as a possible carcinogen in animal studies; many brands have dropped it.
Animal fat
Rendered fat from unnamed species, and the ingredient where BHA most often hides.
Natural flavor
An undisclosed blend. Not harmful per se, but it hides what your pet is actually tasting.
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.

Graded from the 1 product of theirs in this catalogue, not from an audit of the company.
Read off the 1 of 1 carry unnamed by-products, meat meal or unnamed animal fat among the 1 panel we hold. Seeing that once is evidence of a practice; a clean panel once is not. The D grade takes 8 points off this product's score.

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.

Cleaner picks are the highest-scoring products in the same category that suit the same animal. No affiliate links, no paid placement.
This page was corrected 2 times.
- Oct 24, 2026 Panel Score 68 → 64: added a caution for Animal fat. The panel lists “animal fat (preserved with BHA and citric acid)”. 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)”. The score did not change. The panel lists BHA and no BHT. The flag now names what the panel prints.
