Recipe: how the 1-100 score is calculated
Why this score?
Starting from 30, the score was reduced by several negative factors. Undeclared ingredient shares weighed on the total, costing -7.4 points, while the processing format added a further -6.7. The remaining ingredients pulled the score down by -5.7, and lower-quality meat ingredients contributed -5.4. Taken together, these deductions shape the final result out of 100.
Scored with model v3 on 2026-10-25. Each component is the feature value for this product multiplied by the model's published coefficient.

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 | 21.8 | 24.1 (band 18 to 40%) | 86.6 |
| Fat | 9.8 | 10.8 (band 5.5 to 20%) | 92 |
| Fibre | 2.2 | 2.4 (band 0.5 to 5%) | 95.7 |
| Calcium | 1.2 | 1.3 (band 0.5 to 2.5%) | 94.8 |
| Phosphorus | 0.85 | 0.9 (band 0.4 to 1.6%) | 97 |
| Sodium | 0.35 | 0.4 (band 0.1+%) | 100 |
| Calcium:phosphorus ratio | 1.4 | 1.4 (band 1 to 2%) | 94.7 |
| Omega fatty acids (omega-6 and omega-3) | - | - | 100 |
| Energy (kcal/100g) | 358 | 395.6 | 100 |
Omega fatty acids (omega-6 and omega-3): scored as the mean of its declared components (omega-6 100). The FEDIAF minimum for omega-6 is linoleic acid specifically.
Scored over 9 declared nutrients (combined weight 105); undeclared nutrients do not affect the score. Moisture was not declared and was estimated at 9.5% from the food type.
Declared fortification: 10 nutritional additives on the label
- Vitamin A 12.000 IE
- Vitamin D3 1.200 IE
- Vitamin E (all rac-alpha-Tocopherylacetat) 120 mg
- Taurin 1.000 mg
- Eisen (Eisen(II)-sulfat-Monohydrat) 90 mg
- Zink (Zinkoxid, Aminosäuren-Zinkchelat, Hydrat) 100 mg
- Kupfer (Kupfer(II)-sulfat-Pentahydrat) 10 mg
- Mangan (Mangan(II)-oxid) 15 mg
- Jod (Kalziumjodat, wasserfrei) 2 mg
- Selen (Natriumselenit) 0,16 mg
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 (30.2% of the recipe mass) (voluntary) | 6/20 |
| Analytical constituents declared (mandatory) - not on file | 0/15 |
| Additives declared (mandatory) | 10/10 |
| Energy value declared (voluntary) | 5/5 |
| Complete/complementary designation (mandatory) | 5/5 |
| Feeding guidance given (mandatory) | 10/10 |
| Manufacturer identity and address (mandatory) | 5/10 |
| Country of manufacture stated (voluntary) | 10/10 |
| Batch and date labelling (mandatory) - not on file | 0/5 |
Capped at 60: mandatory items missing (Analytical constituents declared, Batch and date labelling).
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 — 1 checkable claim: 1 consistent, 0 contradicted.
