Supporting the rating, it is manufactured in Canada and the facility standards on file include 100% traceable ingredients, Third party certified humane sourcing (G.A.P. / Certified Humane) and Ingredient level origin disclosure.

Animal Protein Quality

11.9 / 25

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
G.A.P. Step 1 Turkey is a named animal ingredient in position 1.
+8 / 8
Animal Prominence Index
Animal Prominence Index 37 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.
+0.9 / 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.

Ingredient Quality

11.2 / 20

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
4 food ingredients assessed by quality tier with early positions weighted most heavily. 4 fortifying nutrients or preservatives excluded from the average.
+13.2 / 20
Added sugars
Added sugar detected: Molasses.

Carbohydrate and Plant Load

10.3 / 15

Estimated carbohydrate: not calculable
Pulse ingredients detected: Chickpeas
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 MODERATE. Carbohydrate bearing plant ingredients: Chickpeas (whole pulse).
+5.5 / 8

How is it made?

5 / 10

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.
