First 5 ingredients

This is the largest single category in FeedWise. It looks at which animal ingredients are present, whether the species is named, whether organs, egg and named fats are included, and whether concentrated plant proteins are diluting the animal content.

• Named animal protein first

  Poisson frais is an animal ingredient in position 1 but the species is not clearly identified.

  +4 / 8

• Animal Prominence Index

  Animal Prominence Index 30 of 100. This is a FeedWise position-weighted measure of how far animal ingredients dominate the ingredient panel. It is a label-position index, not a manufacturer-disclosed recipe percentage.

  +0.4 / 5

• Liver

  Liver is included.

  +2 / 2

• Heart

  No heart in the ingredient panel.

  0 / 2

• Other appropriate organs

  No additional organ meats identified.

  0 / 2

• Whole egg

  No meaningful egg inclusion.

  0 / 1

• Named animal or marine fats

  Named animal or marine fat sources: Poisson frais.

  +1 / 2

• Verified animal ingredient proportion

  The manufacturer has not published an animal ingredient percentage. Excluded from the score rather than counted against the product.

  NOT SCORED

Every ingredient is classified into a quality tier and weighted by its position on the label, so ingredient number one counts far more than ingredient number fifteen.

• Position weighted ingredient quality

  13 food ingredients assessed by quality tier with early positions weighted most heavily. 29 fortifying nutrients or preservatives excluded from the average.

  +15 / 20

• Vague animal ingredients

  Animal ingredients without an identified species: Poisson frais.

• Estimated carbohydrate: 39 percent
• Pulse ingredients detected: pois chiches, pois verts, lentilles
• Plant protein concentrates: none
• Ingredient splitting: not detected

Estimated carbohydrate, calculated as 100 minus protein, fat, moisture, fibre and ash.

• Carbohydrate burden

  Calculated with a published ash value carbohydrate of 39 percent.

  +3 / 7

• Ingredient based plant load

  Plant load assessed as VERY HIGH. Carbohydrate bearing plant ingredients: pois chiches (whole pulse), pois verts (whole pulse), lentilles (whole pulse), fibre de pomme (fibre ingredient).

  +1.8 / 8

• Combined pulse load

  3 pulse ingredients detected at positions 2, 4, 5: pois chiches, pois verts, lentilles. Together these represent a substantial plant contribution.

Processing method: Dehydrated. This category measures food integrity only. Raw handling safety is assessed separately under Safety and Quality Control, so a raw food can score well here and still lose safety points.

• Processing method
