Save it to your pantry and the pantry page flags it if it turns up in an FDA recall we import.
It adds up, line by line.
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.

Kitten Pate Salmon
Good, check the flags
Scored October 2026 · checkthepanel.com
2 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.
Added color
Color added for the buyer's eye, not a synthetic dye; your pet does not care what color it is.
Menadione (vitamin K3)
A synthetic vitamin K linked to liver stress in high doses; safer natural forms exist.
