Where the points went

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

Ingredient quality
Weighted ingredient quality 50/100 across 9 ingredients (declared percentages used for 8, position estimates for the rest). Named meat is only 3% of the recognised recipe, so the quality score is anchored down towards a plant-led food.
16.5 / 40
Label clarity
Vague category terms on the label (Cereals) - naming points withheld; percentages cover 100% of the recipe (+6); meat sources named (+2); recipe reads as a fixed formula (+2).
10 / 15
Additives
Declared additives below our neutral line, weakest being Pectin (-1.5).
8.5 / 10
Red flags
Cereals at position 2 (-16).
-16 / 0
Meat content
Declared meat content 3%.
3.6 / 15
Nutritional balance
Estimated carbohydrate 61% dry matter (very high); fat 2.0% DM is low for essential fats (-2.0); fibre 5.4% DM (+1.8); ash 4.7% DM - sensible mineral load (+2); functional extras: pre/probiotics, joint support (+2).
3.8 / 10
Processing
Gently cooked fresh food - low temperatures with a pathogen kill step.

Our analysis

Breaking the 36 down: the biggest single loss is ingredient quality, where it takes 16.5 of a possible 40. Its strongest showing is processing method at 10 of 10. 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 3% meat, which is a low figure, and a declared low figure is still more honest than silence, and the ingredient list is only partly specific.
