• Named animal protein first

  Wild-caught Pacific salmon is a named animal ingredient in position 1.

  +8 / 8

• Animal Prominence Index

  Animal Prominence Index 28 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.

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

  12 food ingredients assessed by quality tier with early positions weighted most heavily. 23 fortifying nutrients or preservatives excluded from the average.

  +13.8 / 20

• Vague animal ingredients

• Estimated carbohydrate: not calculable
• Pulse ingredients detected: Field Peas, Fava Beans
• 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: Field Peas (whole pulse), Fava Beans (whole pulse), Sorghum (whole grain), Brown Rice (whole grain), Oats (whole grain), Dried Chicory Root (fibre ingredient).
