Nutritional: declared analysis vs reference ranges
How the declared analysis compares with FEDIAF reference ranges for adult dogs. The label prints as-fed values; we convert to a dry-matter basis before scoring, and the bands are dry-matter ranges. Scores rise to 100 at the band midpoint: the reference is adequacy, not maximisation. Nutrients with a published upper limit taper again above it; fat is policed through calorie density rather than a direct penalty.
| Nutrient | As fed (label) | Dry matter (scored) | Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| Protein | 12.8 | 55.2 (band 18 to 40%) | 100 |
| Fat | 4.9 | 21.1 (band 5.5 to 20%) | 100 |
| Fibre | 0.8 | 3.4 (band 0.5 to 5%) | 100 |
| Calcium | 0.21 | 0.9 (band 0.5 to 2.5%) | 82.2 |
| Phosphorus | 0.17 | 0.7 (band 0.4 to 1.6%) | 86.6 |
| Calcium:phosphorus ratio | 1.2 | 1.2 (band 1 to 2%) | 84.1 |
Scored over 6 declared nutrients (combined weight 80); undeclared nutrients do not affect the score.
Medium confidence: the full five-part analysis is on file; where moisture was not declared it was estimated from the food type.
This measures agreement with published reference ranges, not suitability for an individual dog. For medical conditions, follow veterinary guidance.
Transparency: what the label discloses
How much the manufacturer discloses, measured against the FEDIAF Code of Good Labelling Practice and Regulation 767/2009. Mandatory items dominate the weighting.
| Item | Points |
|---|---|
| Ingredient list on the label (mandatory) | 10/10 |
| Printed percentages on the label (100% of the recipe mass) (voluntary) | 20/20 |
| Analytical constituents declared (mandatory) | 15/15 |
| Additives declared (mandatory) - not on file | 0/10 |
| Energy value declared (voluntary) - not on file | 0/5 |
| Complete/complementary designation (mandatory) | 5/5 |
| Feeding guidance given (mandatory) | 10/10 |
| Manufacturer identity and address (mandatory) | 10/10 |
| Country of manufacture stated (voluntary) | 10/10 |
| Batch and date labelling (mandatory) | 5/5 |
Capped at 60: mandatory items missing (Additives declared).
Safety: recall history
Recall and safety-notice history, time-decayed. This dimension is shown alongside the score and never feeds the headline number.
No recalls recorded in our database.
Evidence: what the brand claims, and what supports it
The claims made on the pack and product page, checked against the declared label. We record claims as stated; "consistent" means our stored label data supports the claim, "contradicted" means it conflicts with it. Functional claims are recorded but never scored.
67/100 · limited — 3 checkable claims: 2 consistent, 1 contradicted.
Contradicted by the label
- "Monoprotein-Nassfutter" — the declared label says otherwise on single protein.
Consistent with the label
- "Alleinfuttermittel" — supported by the declared complete and balanced data.
- "ohne Getreide, ohne Zucker und ohne künstliche Zusatzstoffe" — supported by the declared grain-free data.
4 further claims on file that we cannot check against the label.
Limited: at least one claim contradicts the declared label, or a recent upheld ASA ruling applies.
| Claim | Type | Check | Substantiation |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100% Lebensmittelqualität (on page) | provenance | not checkable | Manufacturer assertion |
| hypoallergen (on page) | Functional | not checkable | Manufacturer assertion |
| Monoprotein-Nassfutter (on page) | Content | contradicted | Manufacturer assertion |
