Is Nature's Deli Soft Beef Strips a good dog food?
This is a treat, not a complete diet, so it is not scored on our 1-100 scale. The ingredient breakdown below shows what is in it; a treat should be fed alongside, not instead of, a complete diet.
30% of this recipe has no printed percentage. Estimated shares are model estimates, not label facts.

Complementary baked dry treats for adult dogs, with beef, duck breast and chicken breast as the main ingredients.
Why you might choose it
- Meat makes up an estimated 48% of the dry matter (70% as fed).
- Prints ingredient percentages on the label.
- Low in fat for its format: 2% fat on a dry-matter basis.
Why you might not
- A treat, not a complete diet: feed as an extra, not the whole diet.
What the label tells us
- The label lists 8 ingredients.
- Names its animal sources (2 named ingredients).
- Uses generic terms (Beef): the specific animal source is not stated.
- Lists no artificial colours or preservatives.
- Prints quantities for 3 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.

Who is this food for?
Suits
- Labelled by the manufacturer for adult dogs
- Doesn't list turkey, lamb, fish, venison, pork as ingredients
Consider something else if:
- Your dog avoids chicken: the label lists chicken breast

- Your dog avoids duck: the label lists duck breast
- Your dog avoids grain: the label lists rice flour
- You want a single-protein recipe: this one lists more than one animal protein

Contributions are rounded to two decimals, so they may not sum exactly to the subtotal. The full coefficient table is published on the methodology page.
This is not a complete diet, so the 1-100 rating does not apply to it. Read the recipe breakdown above as ingredient-quality context only.
Nutritional: declared analysis vs reference ranges
Not applicable to complementary food. FEDIAF reference ranges apply to complete diets.
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 (70% of the recipe mass) (voluntary) | 14/20 |
| Analytical constituents declared (mandatory) | 15/15 |
| Additives declared (mandatory) - not on file | 0/10 |
| Energy value declared (voluntary) - not on file | 0/5 |
| 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 (Additives declared, Batch and date labelling).
Safety: recall history
Recall and safety-notice history, time-decayed. This dimension is shown alongside the score and never feeds the headline number.

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 |
|---|---|---|
| Made from choice cuts packed with vital proteins (on page) | Content | Manufacturer assertion |
| Naturally nutritious and delicious (on page) | Content | Manufacturer assertion |
| Grain Free (on page) | Free-from | Manufacturer assertion |
| Slowly oven roasted in own juices for flavour (on page) | Content | Manufacturer assertion |
| No artificial colours or flavours (on page) | Free-from | Manufacturer assertion |
| High protein and ideal as a training treat (on page) | High/low level | Manufacturer assertion |
Limited: at least one claim rests on manufacturer assertion alone.
