● Contextual noteA concentrated insoluble dietary fibre (cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin) derived from bamboo stalks. Provides bulk, texture, and stool-firming with good water and oil holding capacity, but limited nutritional value beyond fibre. Functionally similar to powdered cellulose; when present as a primary fibre source (high on the ingredient list), it may indicate nutritionally inert filler.Sources: AAFCO ingredient definitions · Bamboo insoluble dietary fibre fermentation studies 2022 · Nutritional composition data
4carrots▾
● Standard ingredientA root vegetable providing beta-carotene and fibre.Sources: Nutritional composition data
5peasPeas / 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
6essential vitamins and mineralsMinerals (generic)▾
● Standard ingredientA generic term for a mineral premix. Where the label lists the specific mineral compounds in brackets, each is shown and classified below; otherwise the individual minerals are not disclosed. European-style labels declare added trace minerals as numbered additives with doses (e.g. "E4 (copper): 10 mg").Sources: AAFCO ingredient definitions
