SCORE UNPACKED

Five categories. Weighted by what matters.

Nutritional Adequacy
74· 30%

Partially — meets some AAFCO minimums but falls short on one or more key nutrients.

Does the guaranteed analysis meet AAFCO minimum nutrient profiles for the stated life stage?

Ingredient Quality
56· 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
72· 20%

Minor concerns — limited recall history or a small number of adverse event reports on file.

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
82· 10%

Yes — brand publishes AAFCO feeding trials and employs board-certified veterinary nutritionists.

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

Label Transparency
46· 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.
