Where the points went

The full breakdown, exactly as the algorithm scored it. How our rating works

Ingredient quality
Weighted ingredient quality 48/100 across 14 ingredients (no percentages declared - position-based estimates used). Named meat is only 24% of the recognised recipe, so the quality score is anchored down towards a plant-led food.
18.9 / 40
Label clarity
Vague category terms on the label (animal fat, hydrolyzed animal proteins, vegetable fibers) - naming points withheld; no percentages declared at all - the recipe is unverifiable; meat sources named (+2); variable-composition wording - fixed-formula points withheld.
2 / 15
Additives
Unnamed preservative - the label does not say which (-4).

Red flags

Our analysis

Breaking the 23 down: the biggest single loss is ingredient quality, where it takes 18.9 of a possible 40. On top of that, 12 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 no meat percentage at all, so there is no way to verify how much of the recipe is animal protein, and the ingredient list leans on vague groupings instead of naming what is actually in the bag.

Ingredients

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