Recipe: how the 1-100 score is calculated

Why this score?

This food achieves an overall score of 64 out of 100. The meat content contributed +3.9 points, while the overall quality of the ingredient list added +7.3 points. However, the processing format reduced the score by -6.7 points. Additionally, ingredients without printed percentages subtracted -6.9 points from the total.

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	27	29.8 (band 18 to 40%)	100
Fat	13	14.4 (band 5.5 to 20%)	100
Fibre	3	3.3 (band 0.5 to 5%)	100
Omega fatty acids (omega-6 and omega-3)	-	-	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 4 declared nutrients (combined weight 60); undeclared nutrients do not affect the score. Moisture was not declared and was estimated at 9.5% from the food type.

Declared fortification: 12 nutritional additives on the label

Vitamin A 25200 iu
Vitamin D3 2000 iu
Vitamin E 250 mg
Taurine 500 mg
Carnitine 250 mg
Iron 50 mg
Iodine 2 mg
Copper 10.3 mg
Manganese 45 mg
Zinc 141 mg
Zinc 20 mg
Selenium 0.04 mg

Low confidence: partial analysis or moisture 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
