Dry Extruded complete Clear label
Is Forza10 Weight Control a good dog food?
We score it 46/100 (Average). This reflects the ingredient quality, composition and label transparency of the recipe as declared on the label.
Why this score?
This recipe achieves an overall score of 46 out of 100 based on several key factors. The overall quality of the ingredient list adds +4.1 points, while printing percentages on the label contributes +3.2 points. Conversely, the processing format takes away -7 points, and ingredients without printed percentages deduct -11.5 points from the total.
88% of this recipe has no printed percentage. Estimated shares are model estimates, not label facts.

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 extruded dry food for adult dogs, with rice flour, rice bran and protein hydrolysate as the main ingredients.

Score history across model versions
The score shown above is always computed with the latest published model. Earlier scores are kept for the record and are never edited or deleted; a scoring change ships as a new model version with a public write-up on the methodology page.

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 | 19.7 | 21.4 (band 18 to 40%) | 79.3 |
| Fat | 8 | 8.7 (band 5.5 to 20%) | 83.2 |
| Fibre | 5.8 | 6.3 (band 0.5 to 5%) | 100 |
| Calcium | 1.4 | 1.5 (band 0.5 to 2.5%) | 100 |
| Phosphorus | 1.3 | 1.4 (band 0.4 to 1.6%) | 100 |
| Calcium:phosphorus ratio | 1.1 | 1.1 (band 1 to 2%) | 74.6 |
| Omega fatty acids (omega-6 and omega-3) | - | - | 63.4 |
| Energy (kcal/100g) | 310 | 337 | 100 |
Omega fatty acids (omega-6 and omega-3): scored as the mean of its declared components (omega-6 63.4). The FEDIAF minimum for omega-6 is linoleic acid specifically.
Scored over 8 declared nutrients (combined weight 100); undeclared nutrients do not affect the score.
High confidence: full analysis plus minerals or omegas and declared energy.
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 (12.4% of the recipe mass) (voluntary) | 2.5/20 |
| Analytical constituents declared (mandatory) | 15/15 |
| 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 (Batch and date labelling).
Safety: recall history

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 |
|---|---|---|
| Limited number of ingredients to reduce the risk of food intolerances (on pack) | Functional | Manufacturer assertion |
| Single carbohydrate source: rice (on pack) | Content | Manufacturer assertion |
| Complete dietetic food for adult dogs (on pack) | Content | Manufacturer assertion |
| Regulation of the lipid metabolism in cases of hyperlipidaemia (on pack) | Functional | Manufacturer assertion |
| Reduction of excess body weight (on pack) | Functional | Manufacturer assertion |
| Reducing intolerance to ingredients and nutrients (on pack) | Functional | Manufacturer assertion |
| Omega 3/6 ratio 1:1 (on pack) | Nutrient | Manufacturer assertion |
| Low fat and high essential fatty acid (fish oil) concentration (on pack) | High/low level | Manufacturer assertion |
| Without added colours (on pack) | Free-from | Manufacturer assertion |
| Low energy content (on pack) | High/low level | Manufacturer assertion |
| Single animal protein source: surface fish (anchovies and herring caught in open sea) (on pack) | Content | Manufacturer assertion |
| High natural levels of Omega3, essential for their control of cell growth (especially fat cells) and elasticity, and to reduce overweight risk (on pack) | High/low level | Manufacturer assertion |
Limited: at least one claim rests on manufacturer assertion alone.
