First 5 ingredients
1. Pork
Tier A, exceptional food ingredient
Named Animal Protein
Named animal muscle meat. Highest value protein source in the FeedWise model.
2. fresh fish
Tier B, high quality supportive ingredient
Animal Protein, Species Not Specified
A whole fish ingredient provides animal protein and marine nutrients, but the manufacturer does not identify the fish species, which lowers sourcing transparency.
3. white rice
Tier C, moderate or neutral ingredient
Whole Carbohydrate
Whole carbohydrate source. Evaluated on position, quantity and combined plant load rather than treated as automatically poor.
4. lentils
Tier C, moderate or neutral ingredient
Whole Carbohydrate
Whole carbohydrate source. Evaluated on position, quantity and combined plant load rather than treated as automatically poor.
5. barley
Tier C, moderate or neutral ingredient
Whole Carbohydrate
Whole carbohydrate source. Evaluated on position, quantity and combined plant load rather than treated as automatically poor.
Animal Protein Quality
11.7 / 25This 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.
- +8 / 8
Named animal protein first
Pork is a named animal ingredient in position 1.
- +0.3 / 5
Animal Prominence Index
Animal Prominence Index 29 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 / 2
Liver
No liver in the ingredient panel.
- 0 / 2
Heart
No heart in the ingredient panel.
- 0 / 2
Other appropriate organs
No additional organ meats identified.
- +1 / 1
Whole egg
eggs is included.
- +1 / 2
Named animal or marine fats
Named animal or marine fat sources: fresh fish.
- NOT SCORED
Verified animal ingredient proportion
The manufacturer has not published an animal ingredient percentage. Excluded from the score rather than counted against the product.
- 0
Plant protein dilution
No concentrated plant proteins detected.
Ingredient Quality
10.4 / 20Every 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.
- +14.4 / 20
Position weighted ingredient quality
18 food ingredients assessed by quality tier with early positions weighted most heavily. 28 fortifying nutrients or preservatives excluded from the average.
- -3
Vague animal ingredients
Animal ingredients without an identified species: fresh fish.
- -1
Ingredient splitting
Multiple fractions of the same core ingredient appear: OAT FAMILY (oat flakes, oat fibre).
Carbohydrate and Plant Load
2 / 15- Estimated carbohydrate: 40 percent
- Pulse ingredients detected: lentils
- Plant protein concentrates: none
- Ingredient splitting: OAT FAMILY (oat flakes, oat fibre)
Estimated carbohydrate, calculated as 100 minus protein, fat, moisture, fibre and ash.
- +3 / 7
Carbohydrate burden
Calculated with a published ash value carbohydrate of 40 percent.
- 0 / 8
Ingredient based plant load
Plant load assessed as VERY HIGH. Carbohydrate bearing plant ingredients: white rice (refined grain), lentils (whole pulse), barley (whole grain), oat flakes (whole grain), oat fibre (fibre ingredient), sweet potatoes (starchy vegetable).
- -1
Split plant fractions
Split plant fractions understate the true plant load in the ingredient order.
How is it made?
9 / 10Processing 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.
- +9 / 10
Processing method
Dehydrated processing. Food integrity only. Raw handling safety is assessed separately under Safety and Quality Control.
