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
40· 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
63· 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
62· 10%

Partial — some evidence of nutritional research, but feeding trial data is limited or not publicly available.

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

Label Transparency
75· 10%

Yes — label includes a complete guaranteed analysis, named ingredient sources, and country-of-origin disclosure.

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.
