Animal Protein Quality

14.4 / 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

    Ocean Whitefish is a named animal ingredient in position 1.

    +8 / 8
  • Animal Prominence Index

    Animal Prominence Index 56 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.

    +2.4 / 5
  • Liver

    No liver in the ingredient panel.

    0 / 2
  • Heart

    No heart in the ingredient panel.

    0 / 2

    Manufacturer confirms 95 percent animal ingredients.

    +3 / 3

Ingredient Quality

14.3 / 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. 24 fortifying nutrients or preservatives excluded from the average.

    +15.3 / 20
  • Vague animal ingredients

    Animal ingredients without an identified species: Fish Bone Broth.

Carbohydrate and Plant Load

2.4 / 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 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: Potatoes (starchy vegetable), Sweet Potatoes (starchy vegetable), Tapioca (refined starch), Dried Chicory Root (fibre ingredient), Organic Butternut Squash (starchy vegetable), Miscanthus Grass (fibre ingredient).

    +1.3 / 8
