Dry Freeze Dried · completeClear label
Our verdict
Is Purizon Single Meat Adult Dog - Grain-Free Salmon with Cornflower Blossoms a good dog food?
We score it 79/100 (Good). This reflects the ingredient quality, composition and label transparency of the recipe as declared on the label.
Complete freeze-dried food for adult dogs, with salmon protein, hydrolysed poultry protein and salmon as the main ingredients.
Only part of the analytical constituents are declared, so the nutritional picture is incomplete.
48% of this recipe has no printed percentage. Estimated shares are model estimates, not label facts.
Who is this food for?
Suits
- Labelled by the manufacturer for adult dogs
- Grain-free: no grain ingredients listed
- Doesn't list beef, lamb, venison, pork, duck as ingredients
Consider something else if:
- Your dog avoids chicken: the label lists hydrolysed poultry protein
- Your dog avoids turkey: the label lists hydrolysed poultry protein
- Your dog avoids fish: the label lists salmon protein
- You want a single-protein recipe: this one lists more than one animal protein
These points are derived from declared ingredients and analysis, not a substitute for veterinary advice. If your dog has a diagnosed condition, food choice is a medical nutrition decision: speak to your vet. Find foods that fit your dog.

Recipe: how the 1-100 score is calculated
Why this score?
The overall score is 79 out of 100. The overall quality of the ingredient list contributed +7 points, while the processing format added a further +6.6. Ingredients without printed percentages reduced the score by -5.1, though being labelled nutritionally complete recovered +2.3 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.

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 | 31 | 33 (band 18.382978723404257 to 40%) | 100 |
| Fat | 17 | 18.1 (band 5.617021276595746 to 20%) | 100 |
| Fibre | 3 | 3.2 (band 0.5 to 5%) | 100 |
| Calcium | 1.3 | 1.4 (band 0.5106382978723405 to 2.5%) | 96.3 |
| Phosphorus | 1.05 | 1.1 (band 0.40851063829787243 to 1.6%) | 100 |
| Calcium:phosphorus ratio | 1.2 | 1.2 (band 1 to 2%) | 84.3 |
| Omega fatty acids (omega-6 and omega-3) | - | - | 100 |
| Energy (kcal/100g) | 384 | 408.5 | 100 |
Omega fatty acids (omega-6 and omega-3): scored as the mean of its declared components (omega-6 100). 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. Moisture was not declared and was estimated at 6% from the food type.
Declared fortification: 14 nutritional additives on the label
- Vitamin A 12,000 IU/kg
- Vitamin D3 1500 IU/kg
- Vitamin E 200 IU/kg
- Vitamin C 100 mg/kg
- Biotin 300 mcg/kg
- Folic acid 1.2 mg/kg
- Niacin 35 mg/kg
- Zinc (as zinc sulphate, monohydrate) 100 mg/kg
- Zinc (as glycine zinc chelate hydrate, solid) 60 mg/kg
- Iron (as iron(II)-sulphate, monohydrate) 250 mg/kg
- Manganese (as manganese(II)-sulphate, monohydrate) 30 mg/kg
- Copper (as copper(II)-sulphate, pentahydrate) 12.5 mg/kg
- Iodine (as calcium iodate, anhydrous) 2.2 mg/kg
- Selenium (as sodium selenite) 0.4 mg/kg
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.
| Item | Points |
|---|---|
| Ingredient list on the label (mandatory) | 10/10 |
| Printed percentages on the label (51.6% of the recipe mass) (voluntary) | 10.3/20 |
| Analytical constituents declared (mandatory) - not on file | 0/15 |
| 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 (Analytical constituents 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.
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.
75/100 · limited — 4 checkable claims: 3 consistent, 1 contradicted.
Contradicted by the label
- "65% selected meat or fish and animal ingredients from a single source" — the declared label says otherwise on single protein.
Consistent with the label
- "Complete dry dog food" — supported by the declared complete and balanced data.
- "0% added grain" — supported by the declared grain-free data.
- "High protein content" — supported by the declared high protein data.
3 further claims on file that we cannot check against the label.
Limited: at least one claim contradicts the declared label, or a recent upheld ASA ruling applies.
| Claim | Type | Check | Substantiation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grain-free recipe ideal for sensitive dogs (on page) | Functional | not checkable | Manufacturer assertion |
| 65% selected meat or fish and animal ingredients from a single source (on pack) | Content | contradicted | Manufacturer assertion |
| Complete dry dog food (on pack) | Content | consistent | Manufacturer assertion |
| Very high protein content: more than 30% quality protein (on pack) | High/low level | not checkable | Manufacturer assertion |
| 35% selected fruit, vegetables and herbs (on pack) | Content | not checkable | Manufacturer assertion |
| 0% added grain (on pack) | Free-from | consistent | Manufacturer assertion |
