SCORE UNPACKED

Five categories. Weighted by what matters.

Nutritional Adequacy
40· 30%

No — guaranteed analysis does not meet AAFCO minimum nutrient profiles for this life stage.

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

Ingredient Quality
28· 30%

No — primary ingredients are by-products or low-quality fillers rather than named whole proteins.

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

Safety & Recalls
40· 20%

Caution — this brand has had FDA recalls or a notable volume of 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
32· 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
35· 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.
