What the label tells us

The label lists 7 ingredients.
Uses generic terms (Beef): the specific animal source is not stated.
Lists no artificial colours or preservatives.
Prints quantities for 2 ingredients.

Why is this treat not scored?

Our 1 to 100 rating applies to complete diets, so treats and complementary foods are presented as what the label tells us rather than a number that would invite comparison with complete meals.

What should I look for on a treat label?

A short ingredient list, named animal sources instead of generic terms, and no artificial colours or preservatives. Printed quantities are a good transparency signal, though few treat labels provide them.

These points are derived from the published ingredient list, not a rating.
