Natural flavor
An undisclosed blend. Not harmful per se, but it hides what your pet is actually tasting.
Added sugar
A sweetener with no nutritional job; it adds calories and nothing else.

- Sep 22, 2026 Panel Score 90 → 86: added a caution for Added sugar. The panel lists “Brown sugar”. 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.
