Risk Factor Assessment

Protein source quality
Medium Risk −18 pts

Animal protein present but not in dominant position

Grain as primary filler
Medium Risk −18 pts

Grain dominates the ingredient list. Cats process carbohydrates poorly; a high grain content displaces animal protein.

Protein source unspecified
Medium Risk −10 pts

"Meat and animal derivatives" without species or percentage stated. Quality and origin cannot be verified.

Preservatives unspecified
Medium Risk −8 pts

"Preservatives" listed without individual names. Makes it impossible to assess whether synthetic antioxidants are present.
