What to watch for

• 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.
• Wheat gluten Low risk
  Wheat protein used to bind wet foods and raise the protein number. Less complete than animal protein.
• Powdered cellulose Low risk
  Purified plant fiber used to add bulk, often in weight-control foods. Safe, but provides no nutrients.
• Vegetable oil Low risk
  An unnamed plant oil. Fine as energy, but the label does not say which plant it came from.
• Natural flavor Low risk
  Flavoring from natural sources. Normally safe, but the term can hide which animal or plant it came from, which matters for allergies.
• Sodium tripolyphosphate Low risk
  A phosphate used for texture and, in dental chews, to reduce tartar. It adds phosphorus, which matters for dogs with kidney disease.
• Copper sulfate Low risk
  A source of copper, an essential trace mineral. Some breeds accumulate copper in the liver, and vets have raised concern that some dog foods supply more than dogs need.

What it does well

• Complete & balanced
  Meets an AAFCO nutrient profile.
• High protein 48.1%
  40% or more on a dry-matter basis (cat).
• Taurine added
  Cats need taurine in their diet; this label lists it.
