Animal Protein Quality

16.8 / 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.

  • Named animal protein first

    Wild-Alaskan Pollock is a named animal ingredient in position 1.

    +8 / 8
  • Animal Prominence Index

    Animal Prominence Index 49 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.

    +1.8 / 5
  • Liver

    Liver is included.

    +2 / 2
  • Heart

    No heart in the ingredient panel.

    0 / 2

Ingredient Quality

11.3 / 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

    28 food ingredients assessed by quality tier with early positions weighted most heavily. 19 fortifying nutrients or preservatives excluded from the average.

    +15.3 / 20
  • Vague animal ingredients

    Animal ingredients without an identified species: Ocean Whitefish Meal, Menhaden Fish Meal, G.A.P. Step 4 Beef Bone Broth.

    -3
  • Ingredient splitting

    Multiple fractions of the same core ingredient appear: SUNFLOWER FAMILY (Sunflower Oil (Preserved with Mixed Tocopherols), Organic Sunflower Seeds).

Carbohydrate and Plant Load

3.7 / 15
  • Estimated carbohydrate: not calculable
  • Pulse ingredients detected: none
  • Plant protein concentrates: none
  • Ingredient splitting: SUNFLOWER FAMILY (Sunflower Oil (Preserved with Mixed Tocopherols), Organic Sunflower Seeds)

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 HIGH. Carbohydrate bearing plant ingredients: Potatoes (starchy vegetable), Sweet Potatoes (starchy vegetable), Tapioca (refined starch), Organic Butternut Squash (starchy vegetable).

    +2.5 / 8
  • Split plant fractions

    Split plant fractions understate the true plant load in the ingredient order.

How is it made?
