Who is this food for?
Suits

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
Analytical constituents not declared
No nutritional additives section declared on the label.
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.

|---|---|
| Ingredient list on the label (mandatory) | 10/10 |
| Printed percentages on the label (99% of the recipe mass) (voluntary) | 19.8/20 |
| Analytical constituents declared (mandatory) - not on file | 0/15 |

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.
See all current recalls we track.
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.
Consistent with the label
- "100% Gluten-free" — supported by the declared grain-free data.
2 further claims on file that we cannot check against the label.
Moderate: every checkable claim is consistent with the declared label.
| Claim | Type | Check | Substantiation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Locally-sourced (on page) | provenance | not checkable | Manufacturer assertion |
| formulated to provide complete and balanced nutrition in line with FEDIAF guidelines (on page) | Functional | not checkable | Manufacturer assertion |
| 100% Gluten-free (on page) | Free-from | consistent | Manufacturer assertion |
