1ChickenNamed 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

2Chicken LiverNamed organ meats▾

● Beneficial (well-established)Organ meat from a named animal species, with both the species and the organ identified. Published nutrition references describe named organ meats (e.g. chicken liver, beef heart) as nutrient-dense, naturally rich in vitamins A and B12, iron, copper, and folate. Where the label names only the organ (e.g. "liver"), the animal species is not identified.Sources: NRC 2006 · Nutritional composition data

3Water sufficient for processingWater▾

● Standard ingredientWater used in processing; contributes to the declared moisture content.

4TurkeyNamed single-species whole meat▾

5Lamb PlasmaNamed single-species whole meat▾

6Dried YeastBrewer's yeast▾

● Beneficial (emerging)A by-product of beer brewing that provides B vitamins, protein, and trace minerals. Some studies have explored its role as a source of mannan-oligosaccharides (MOS) for gut health support and as a natural palatability enhancer.Sources: Nutritional composition data · Swanson et al. 2002

7Cassia Gum▾

● Contextual noteA galactomannan thickener from cassia seeds, used in wet foods, often together with other gums. EFSA's re-evaluation of purified cassia gum (E427) found it safe at permitted levels; historical concerns related to anthraquinone impurities in less refined grades.Sources: EFSA 2017 re-evaluation of cassia gum (E427)

12Sodium PyrophosphatePhosphate salts (misc.)▾

● Standard ingredientPhosphate salts used as mineral nutrient sources and processing aids (texture, palatant carriers), and phosphoric acid as an acidifier. Distinct from the condensed phosphates under research review (sodium tripolyphosphate, sodium hexametaphosphate), which are classified separately.Sources: AAFCO ingredient definitions · EU Regulation 767/2009

15Green-lipped MusselGreen-lipped mussel (Perna canaliculus)▾

● Beneficial (supported)Contains a unique omega-3 fatty acid (ETA) and has been associated with anti-inflammatory and joint support benefits in some studies in dogs. Relevant for the AU/NZ market.Sources: Servet et al. 2006 · Bierer & Bui 2002Position on the ingredient list suggests a small inclusion level.

16Kiwifruit▾

● Beneficial (emerging)Kiwifruit is high in vitamin C and soluble fibre and contains the proteolytic enzyme actinidin; multi-country randomised human trials associate eating green kiwifruit with more frequent bowel movements and reduced digestive discomfort (attributed to the fibre's water-holding capacity plus actinidin), though this evidence is human, not canine. Kiwifruit also contains calcium-oxalate raphides, which sources note can cause mouth or skin irritation in some sensitive animals.Sources: Habitual Green Kiwifruit Consumption Is Associated with a Reduction in Upper Gastrointestinal Symptoms: A Systematic Scoping Review · The effect of 'Zesy002' kiwifruit (Actinidia chinensis var. chinensis) on gut health function: a randomised cross-over clinical trial · The nutritional and health attributes of kiwifruit: a reviewPosition on the ingredient list suggests a small inclusion level.

17Manuka HoneyHoney (Manuka)▾

● Beneficial (emerging)Manuka honey has documented antibacterial properties (due to methylglyoxal content) and has been explored for wound healing, digestive health, and immune support in dogs. Should be used cautiously in pets with diabetes due to high sugar content.Sources: Veterinary wound care studies · New Zealand Manuka honey researchPosition on the ingredient list suggests a small inclusion level.
