Flags-16 points in all

4 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 your pet is actually tasting.

See the evidence
Caution-4

Added color

Color added for the buyer's eye, not a synthetic dye; your pet does not care what color it is.

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.

  • Oct 24, 2026 Panel Score 67 → 75: removed “Unnamed animal ingredients” and the caution for Meat flavor and digest. “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. The lines behind it already carried Animal fat and Meat by-products, so they were being counted twice. The meat flavor caution came from “Natural Tuna Flavor”. Until October 24, 2026 our library read a natural flavor that names a meat or fish as a meat flavor and digest; it now reads every “natural … flavor” line as a natural flavor, except smoke flavor, which has an entry of its own, and the record already carries Natural flavor for its “Natural Flavors” line, so that entry now counts once.
  • Sep 22, 2026 Replaced the summary panel with the ingredient list the brand publishes on its website. Panel Score 63 → 67: added flags for Animal fat, Meat by-products, Added color and Meat flavor and digest, and removed BHA (preservative) and Artificial colors. The earlier panel was written from a search summary in July 2026 and had not been checked. The new list comes from the brand's own website, checked on September 22, 2026.
