Ultra-processed
More filler and additives than we’d want in a daily bowl.
Better than most of this aisle — 20 of 27 sit at or below this number.
Council note
Named meat and a short list. That is the whole method for a bowl.

Built in a factory with additives, flavours, or refined extras. Cannot be rated Good — a rare treat, not a habit.
Some good signs, some industrial ones. Not the heaviest in the aisle.

Ultra-processed food cannot be rated Good. A factory recipe is a treat, not a habit.
What pulled it down
Okay nutrition cannot be rated Excellent
The box is middling. That is fine as a sometimes food. It is not everyday Excellent.
Ultra-processed food cannot be rated Good
A factory recipe — flavours, colours, or many additives — cannot be rated Good. A sometimes treat, not a daily habit.
What’s in the bowl
7.1428571428571 g protein / 100 g. Named meat on the list: Chicken. Pets need protein they can use, not a dye and a warehouse antioxidant.
Carrageenan
-14Degraded carrageenan is inflammatory in animal studies. Debate continues.
Natural flavouring
-5Undisclosed mixture. Usually low toxicological risk, poor transparency.
Factory kibble pattern
Dyes, flavours or a long additive list are common in cheap kibble. Dogs and cats don’t need a tennis-ball colour.
For pet food, the bowl and the extras share the number. How processed is a smaller slice. Organic is a small bonus — it cannot cancel BHA, dyes, or by-product meal.

CarrageenanE407
−14Some people find it rough on the gut. Debate continues; we treat it as worth watching.
Natural flavouring
−5Not a toxin. A sign the recipe needed a perfume. You cannot tell what is inside from the words.
Chicken
No concernNamed chicken is the goal. ‘By-product meal’ is a stretch.
Salt
No concernThe nutrition box already scores it. A pinch in cooking is not a packet of noodles.
RiboflavinE101
No concernVitamin B2 used as a yellow colour.
