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.
Corn syrup Moderate risk
A sugar syrup made from corn starch, used in semi-moist foods and treats. Dogs have no dietary need for added sugar; it adds calories and is mainly there to make food more appealing.
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.
Yellow 6 Moderate risk
An artificial color added to make food look appealing to people; dogs do not care what color their food is. It was part of the UK hyperactivity study in children.
Red 40 Moderate risk
An artificial color added to make food look appealing to people; dogs do not care what color their food is. It was one of the dyes in a well-known UK study linking color mixes to hyperactivity in some children.
Yellow 5 Moderate risk
An artificial color added to make food look appealing to people; dogs do not care what color their food is. It can cause sensitivity reactions in some people and was part of the UK hyperactivity study.
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.
Soy flour Low risk
Ground soybeans used as a protein and binder. Soy is a recognised allergen for some dogs.
