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.

1FishUnnamed fish / fish derivatives▾

● Contextual noteA fish ingredient where the species is not named (for example 'fish', 'ocean fish' or 'fish derivatives'). Naming the species would give fuller disclosure of the source.Sources: Label transparency

2chickenNamed 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

3chicken brothNamed single-species whole meat▾

4eggWhole eggs / dried egg product▾

● Beneficial (well-established)Egg protein has the highest biological value of any common protein source, providing a complete amino acid profile.Sources: NRC 2006 · Protein biological value studies

5gelling agents▾

● Contextual noteA generic term for substances used to create gel-like textures in wet food. The specific gelling agent(s) are not identified, limiting traceability. Common gelling agents include carrageenan, agar, and various gums.Sources: AAFCO ingredient definitions

6green 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

7potatoPotato / sweet potato▾

● Contextual noteDigestible carbohydrate sources. Not harmful in themselves. Often used in grain-free formulations.Sources: NRC 2006

8vegetable oilVegetable oil (generic)▾

● Contextual noteOil from plant sources. Where the label names the plants in brackets, each is shown and classified below; 'and/or' wording means the blend can vary between batches. Unnamed sources limit traceability; named oils (e.g. sunflower oil, canola oil) provide more transparency.Sources: AAFCO ingredient definitions

9vitamins 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

10pea proteinPea protein / pea starch / pea fibre▾

● Contextual noteFractionated legume derivatives that can be used to increase the protein reading on a guaranteed analysis without providing a complete amino acid profile. More relevant than whole peas to the FDA's DCM investigation (2018-2022, no causal link established).Sources: FDA DCM Investigation 2018-2022

This product lists 2 separate pea derivatives (peas, pea protein). When listed separately, each appears lower on the ingredient list than they would if combined as a single entry.
