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.

Complete air-dried food for dogs of all life stages, with chicken, potatoes and oats as the main ingredients.

Evidence: what the brand claims, and what supports it

The marketing claims made on the pack and product page, and how much evidence sits behind them. We record the claims as stated; we do not assess whether they are true.

Claim	Type	Substantiation
No preservatives or artificial colourants (on page)	Free-from	Manufacturer assertion
No added vegetable proteins (on page)	Free-from	Manufacturer assertion
No animal by-products (on page)	Free-from	Manufacturer assertion

Limited: at least one claim rests on manufacturer assertion alone.
