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

  Ocean fish is an animal ingredient in position 1 but the species is not clearly identified.

  +4 / 8

• Animal Prominence Index

  Animal Prominence Index 42 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.

  +1.3 / 5

• 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.

  0 / 2

• Whole egg

  No meaningful egg inclusion.

  0 / 1

• Named animal or marine fats

  Named animal or marine fat sources: chicken fat, Ocean fish, fish oil.

  +2 / 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

  18 food ingredients assessed by quality tier with early positions weighted most heavily. 40 fortifying nutrients or preservatives excluded from the average.

  +15 / 20

• Vague animal ingredients

  Animal ingredients without an identified species: Ocean fish.

  -3

• Estimated carbohydrate: not calculable
• Pulse ingredients detected: pearl barley, peas, lentils
• Plant protein concentrates: none
• Ingredient splitting: not detected

Carbohydrate is not calculable because ash is not disclosed. It is left blank rather than overstated.

• Carbohydrate burden

  Carbohydrate is not precisely calculable because ash has not been disclosed. This is an evidence limitation, not evidence of high carbohydrate, so it is removed from the score and reported as reduced confidence.

  NOT SCORED

• Ingredient based plant load

  Plant load assessed as VERY HIGH. Carbohydrate bearing plant ingredients: oatmeal (whole grain), pearl barley (whole grain), peas (whole pulse), lentils (whole pulse), dried chicory root (fibre ingredient).

  +0.3 / 8

• Combined pulse load

  3 pulse ingredients detected at positions 4, 5, 6: pearl barley, peas, lentils. Together these represent a substantial plant contribution.

  -2

Processing method: Other. 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

  Other processing. Food integrity only. Raw handling safety is assessed separately under Safety and Quality Control.
