Our analysis

Breaking the 15 down: the biggest single loss is ingredient quality, where it takes 19.1 of a possible 40. On top of that, 16 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.
