Animal Protein Quality

17.8 / 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.

Ingredient Quality

17.1 / 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
13 food ingredients assessed by quality tier with early positions weighted most heavily. 21 fortifying nutrients or preservatives excluded from the average.
+18.1 / 20
Vague animal ingredients

Carbohydrate and Plant Load

7.5 / 15

Estimated carbohydrate: not calculable
Pulse ingredients detected: none
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 level
Carbohydrate could not be calculated from the available guaranteed analysis, so a neutral mid range value is used and confidence is reduced.
+7 / 15

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.
