Our analysis

Breaking the 56 down: the biggest single loss is ingredient quality, where it takes 22.4 of a possible 40. Its strongest showing is additives at 10 of 10.

The label declares no meat percentage at all, so there is no way to verify how much of the recipe is animal protein, and the ingredient list is only partly specific.

Ingredients

Straight from the label, grouped by role - every ingredient is coloured by our published classification and links to its full page.
