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
Humanely Raised Beef is a named animal ingredient in position 1.
Animal Prominence Index
Animal Prominence Index 77 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.
Liver
Liver is included.
Heart
Heart is included.
Other appropriate organs
Additional organs included: kidney.
Whole egg
No meaningful egg inclusion.
Named animal or marine fats
Named animal or marine fat sources: Salmon Oil, Salmon Oil.
Verified animal ingredient proportion
The manufacturer has not published an animal ingredient percentage. Excluded from the score rather than counted against the product.
Plant protein dilution
No concentrated plant proteins detected.
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
19 food ingredients assessed by quality tier with early positions weighted most heavily. 25 fortifying nutrients or preservatives excluded from the average.
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.
Ingredient based plant load
Plant load assessed as MODERATE. Carbohydrate bearing plant ingredients: Organic Butternut Squash (starchy vegetable), Dried Chicory Root (fibre ingredient).
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.

Recall context and corrective action
No recalls on file.
A recall alone does not destroy a score. Severity, cause, frequency, recency and documented corrective action are all considered.
Unknown information is not treated as bad information. It is scored as unverified and it lowers the confidence rating instead.
Canadian retailers on record. Stock and price vary by store and province.
Only certifications we can confirm from the brand's own documentation or the certifying body appear here. Nothing is assumed — if a program isn't listed, it isn't disclosed for this product.
