First 5 ingredients

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

  The first ingredient is Brown Rice, which is not an animal protein.

  0 / 8

• Animal Prominence Index

  Animal Prominence Index 2 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.

  0 / 5

• Liver

  No liver in the ingredient panel.

  0 / 2

• Heart

  No heart in the ingredient panel.

  0 / 2

• Other appropriate organs

  No additional organ meats identified.

  0 / 2

• Whole egg

  No meaningful egg inclusion.

  0 / 1

• Named animal or marine fats

  Named animal or marine fat sources: Marine Microalgae Oil.

  +1 / 2

• Verified animal ingredient proportion

  The manufacturer has not published an animal ingredient percentage. Excluded from the score rather than counted against the product.

  NOT SCORED

• Plant protein disclosure

  Concentrated plant protein is present: Potato Protein. The manufacturer does not publish its inclusion level or the animal versus plant share of the crude protein, so the contribution is not quantified. This is deducted once under Ingredient Quality and is not counted again here.

  N/A

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

  22 food ingredients assessed by quality tier with early positions weighted most heavily. 16 fortifying nutrients or preservatives excluded from the average.

  +12.3 / 20

• Concentrated plant protein

  Concentrated plant protein appears at position 4: Potato Protein. Scored once here and not repeated in other categories.

  -2

• Estimated carbohydrate: not calculable
• Pulse ingredients detected: Pearled Barley
• Plant protein concentrates: Potato Protein
• 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: Brown Rice (whole grain), Oatmeal (whole grain), Pearled Barley (whole grain), Potato Protein (concentrated plant protein), Millet (whole grain), Dried Tomato Pomace (fibre ingredient), Chicory Root Extract (fibre ingredient).

Processing method: Extruded. 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.

• Processing method

  Extruded processing. Food integrity only. Raw handling safety is assessed separately under Safety and Quality Control.
