How we score

Why this score?

The recipe score is 35. Other ingredients contributed -19. Overall ingredient quality contributed -2.7. Lower-quality ingredients contributed -2.6. Carbohydrate content contributed -0.8.

The Recipe score measures how attractive and transparent the declared ingredient list is. It is not, by itself, proof that the food is nutritionally appropriate for long-term feeding. The Nutritional and Evidence scores measure what we can verify towards that stronger claim.

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.

100/100 · moderate — 2 checkable claims: 2 consistent, 0 contradicted.

Consistent with the label

  • "Alleinfuttermittel für ausgewachsene Hunde" — supported by the declared complete and balanced data.
  • "Nährstoffversorgung nach FEDIAF-Richtlinien" — supported by the declared complete and balanced data.

11 further claims on file that we cannot check against the label.
