What to watch for

• BHA High risk
  A synthetic preservative that keeps fats from going rancid. The U.S. National Toxicology Program lists BHA as 'reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen' based on animal studies. Natural alternatives (mixed tocopherols) exist.
• 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.
• Propylene glycol Moderate risk
  A moisture-keeping additive used in soft and semi-moist foods and treats. The FDA permits it in dog food, but it has no nutritional value, and it is prohibited in cat food because it damages cats' red blood cells.
• Garlic Moderate risk
  Garlic belongs to the onion family, which can damage dogs' red blood cells. Whether the small amounts used as flavoring matter is debated, but vets advise caution.
• Artificial colors Moderate risk
  Unspecified synthetic dyes. They are there for the owner's eye, not the dog's nutrition.
• Meat by-products Low risk
  Clean parts of slaughtered mammals other than muscle meat, such as organs. AAFCO says by-products can be nutritious, but the label does not say which animal they came from, so you cannot steer around an allergy.
• 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.
• Potassium sorbate Low risk
  A mould inhibitor used in soft and semi-moist foods and treats. Regulators consider it safe at normal levels.

What it does well

• Named meat first
  First ingredient is beef.
