Recipe: how the 1-100 score is calculated

Why this score?

The overall score is 85 out of 100. The overall quality of the ingredient list contributed +8.8 points and the meat content contributed +3.8. Ingredients without printed percentages reduced the score by -6 points, while the processing format deducted -2.4 points.

Scored with model v3 on 2026-10-25. Each component is the feature value for this product multiplied by the model's published coefficient.

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.

NutrientAs fed (label)Dry matter (scored)Score
Protein14.145.3 (band 18 to 40%)100
Fat14.6147 (band 5.5 to 20%)100
Fibre1.414.5 (band 0.5 to 5%)100

Scored over 3 declared nutrients (combined weight 50); undeclared nutrients do not affect the score.

Declared fortification: 9 nutritional additives on the label
  • Vit. A (3a672a) 5507 I.U
  • Vit. D3 (3a671) 551 I.U
  • Vit. E (3a700) 184 mg

  • Selenium (3b801) 0.11 mg

Medium confidence: the full five-part analysis is on file; where moisture was not declared it was estimated from the food type.

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.

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 · strong — 3 checkable claims: 3 consistent, 0 contradicted.

Consistent with the label

  • "protein-rich salmon" — supported by the declared high protein data.
  • "Complete & Balanced" — supported by the declared complete and balanced data.
  • "No grains or filler" — supported by the declared grain-free data.

5 further claims on file that we cannot check against the label.

Strong: at least three checkable claims, all consistent with the declared label, and no compliance cap.
