What do these mean? ▾

Beneficial. Linked to benefits in published research. Tiers show evidence strength.

Restricted or banned. Restricted or banned by a regulator in at least one country.

Under research review. Being studied or re-evaluated by researchers or regulators.

Contextual. Not flagged, but there is a note worth reading.

Standard. Everyday components like vitamins and minerals.

Not yet classified. Not in our dictionary yet. Always still listed.

Counts include what's inside compound entries like vitamin premixes, so they can add up to more than the label's ingredient count.

1TurkeyNamed single-species whole meat▾

● Beneficial (well-established)Whole meat from a named animal species. Both the species and the form are identified, which supports traceability and allergy checking. Published nutrition references associate named whole meats with high protein quality.Sources: AAFCO 2024 · NRC 2006 · Amino acid bioavailability studies

2Oat Groats

3Barley▾

● Contextual noteA whole grain carbohydrate and fibre source. Provides beta-glucans, a type of soluble fibre associated with gut health benefits.Sources: Veterinary nutrition references

4Narrow Leaf LupinsSweet lupin meal▾

● Contextual noteA legume protein source. The FDA investigated (2018-2022) a potential association between legume-rich diets and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) in dogs, did not establish a causal link, and has paused public updates pending new science. Sweet lupin refers to low-alkaloid cultivars; bitter lupin cultivars contain quinolizidine alkaloids that food-safety authorities limit. Lupin is a mandatory-declaration allergen for humans in Australia (FSANZ Standard 1.2.3) and the EU; it is not among the commonly reported food allergens in dogs or cats (Mueller et al. 2016).Sources: FDA DCM Investigation 2018-2022 · FSANZ Standard 1.2.3 (mandatory lupin declaration, from May 2018) · FSANZ lupin alkaloid limit · Mueller et al. 2016

5Field PeasPeas / lentils / chickpeas▾

● Contextual noteWhole legumes provide protein, fibre, and micronutrients. The FDA investigated (2018-2022) a potential association with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) in dogs when legumes are used as a primary ingredient, did not establish a causal link, and has paused public updates pending new science.Sources: FDA DCM Investigation 2018-2022 · Freeman et al. 2018 JAVMA

6Alfalfa▾

● Contextual noteA legume plant used as a source of fibre, protein, and micronutrients including natural vitamin K1 (an alternative to synthetic menadione/vitamin K3).
