SCORE UNPACKED

Five categories. Weighted by what matters.

Nutritional Adequacy
NO DATA· 30%

No AAFCO compliance data or guaranteed analysis on file for this product. Score reflects other four factors only.

Ingredient Quality
58· 30%

Mixed — some quality proteins present, but by-products or fillers appear early in the list.

Are named whole proteins, whole grains, and whole vegetables the primary ingredients, with minimal fillers or artificial additives?

Safety & Recalls
85· 20%

Clean record — no FDA Class I/II recalls or significant adverse event reports in the past five years.

Has this brand been subject to FDA or CFIA recalls, Class I/II actions, or adverse event reports in the past five years?

Evidence Base
45· 10%

No — no published AAFCO feeding trials or board-certified veterinary nutritionists on record.

Does the brand publish AAFCO feeding trials, employ board-certified veterinary nutritionists, or fund peer-reviewed research?

Label Transparency
50· 10%

No — label is missing key transparency elements such as a complete guaranteed analysis or named ingredient sources.

Does the label include a complete guaranteed analysis, named ingredient sources, and country-of-origin disclosure? Canadian labelling law does not require nutritional adequacy statements — a product can claim "complete and balanced" without meeting any government-verified standard.
