Every product starts at 96. Flags, the brand's transparency grade and any recall linked to this product take points away. Nothing else moves the number, and no brand can pay to move it.

Good, check the flags
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.
Natural flavor
An undisclosed blend. Not harmful per se, but it hides what's actually in the recipe.
Menadione (vitamin K3)
A synthetic vitamin K linked to liver stress in high doses; safer natural forms exist.
Garlic
An allium that damages red blood cells at high doses; flavoring amounts are considered safe, but cats and some breeds are more sensitive.
