Our analysis

Breaking the 53 down: the biggest single loss is additives, where it takes 0 of a possible 10. Its strongest showing is ingredient quality at 35.3 of 40. On top of that, 8 points are deducted outright for red-flag ingredients - a penalty applied before anything else is counted, which is why the total lands where it does.

The label declares 46% meat, which is a real number, which already puts it ahead of the many that print none, and the ingredient list is only partly specific.
