What to watch for

• Ethoxyquin High risk
  A synthetic antioxidant used mostly to stabilise fish meal and fats. EFSA could not confirm its safety and the EU suspended it as a feed additive; the U.S. still allows it up to 150 ppm.
• Carrageenan Moderate risk
  A seaweed-based thickener in many wet foods. EFSA kept it allowed but flagged data gaps, and animal studies have linked degraded carrageenan to gut inflammation.
• Menadione sodium bisulfite complex Moderate risk
  A synthetic form of vitamin K (K3). EFSA concluded it is safe for dogs at the levels used in feed, but it is flagged as a precaution: it is a synthetic form not used in human supplements, and natural vitamin K1 is an alternative.
• Sodium nitrite Moderate risk
  A curing salt that keeps color and stops bacteria in some wet foods and jerky. Nitrites can form nitrosamines, which are a cancer concern at higher exposures.
• Titanium dioxide Moderate risk
  A white pigment. In 2021 EFSA concluded it could no longer be considered safe as a human food additive because DNA damage could not be ruled out. It adds nothing for dogs.
• Sugar Moderate risk
  Table sugar. Dogs have no dietary need for added sugar; it adds calories and is mainly there to make food more appealing.
• Tuna Low risk
  Named fish protein. Large predatory fish such as tuna carry more mercury than small fish, so it is better as an occasional ingredient than a daily staple.
• Salt Low risk
  Salt supplies sodium and chloride, which dogs need. Pet foods use small amounts; high salt is mainly a concern for dogs with heart or kidney disease.

What it does well

• High protein 66.7%
  40% or more on a dry-matter basis (cat).
• Named meat first
  First ingredient is tuna.
