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.

1MeatUnnamed meat sources▾

● Under research reviewProtein source without species identification. Terms like meat, meat meal, animal by-products, meat and bone meal, or meat and animal derivatives do not identify the animal species, which limits traceability and makes allergen avoidance difficult.Sources: AAFCO 2024 Official Publication · EU Regulation 767/2009

2meat meals (poultry and beef)2 components▾

● Contextual noteA meat ingredient where the animal species is named but disclosure is partial: by-products from a named species (e.g. chicken by-product meal), or a generic meat term with the species named in brackets (e.g. meat meal (beef and/or lamb)). An "and/or" list means the exact mix may vary between batches; where a percentage is shown (e.g. "chicken 27%"), only that minimum is guaranteed to come from that species. Named species are checked against your pet's allergy profile. By-product terms do not specify which parts are used. More transparent than fully unnamed meat terms; named whole meats, meals, and organ meats provide the strongest traceability.Sources: AAFCO ingredient definitions · EU Regulation 767/2009
