This page was corrected once.

  • Oct 16, 2026 Panel Score 96 → 92: added a caution for Added sugar. The panel lists honey. Honey is an added sugar (FDA's definition of added sugars names it), so since October 16, 2026 it reads as Added sugar in anything a pet eats. We used to read it as a neutral sweetener.
