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

Animal fat

Rendered fat from unnamed species, and the ingredient where BHA most often hides.

Caution-4

Meat by-products

Unnamed animal parts. Legal and regulated, but the label tells you nothing about the source.

Caution-4

Natural flavor

An undisclosed blend. Not harmful per se, but it hides what's actually in the recipe.

Independent testing & contaminants

No independent testing on file.

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.

  • Oct 24, 2026 Panel Score 83 → 79: “Unnamed animal ingredients” is now “Animal fat” and “Meat by-products”. “Unnamed animal ingredients” was a flag of our own for lines that don't say which animal they come from. We retired it on October 24, 2026 for the entries our library has for those lines, each counted once: “Animal fat (preserved with mixed tocopherols)” is Animal fat and “Dried meat by-products” is Meat by-products. One flag had been standing for two different ingredients.
