Recipe: how the 1-100 score is calculated
Why this score?
This recipe achieves an overall score of 64 out of 100 based on several key factors. The overall quality of the ingredient list adds +7.7 points, and the meat content contributes +4.5 points to the total. However, the processing format reduces the score by -6.7 points, and ingredients without printed percentages deducts -5.1 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.
Guaranteed-analysis FEDIAF score: crude minimums and maximums are bounds, not typical values; moisture (a maximum) uses the processing median where available; experimental US score.
| Nutrient | As fed (label) | Dry matter (scored) | Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| Protein | 28 | 30.9 (band 18 to 40%) | 100 |
| Fat | 19 | 21 (band 5.5 to 20%) | 100 |
| Fibre | 2.1 | 2.3 (band 0.5 to 5%) | 94.3 |
Scored over 3 declared nutrients (combined weight 50); undeclared nutrients do not affect the score. Moisture was not declared and was estimated at 9.5% from the food type.
Declared fortification: 10 nutritional additives on the label
- Vitamin A 24,000 i.u./kg
- Vitamin D3 2,000 i.u./kg
- Vitamin E 250 i.u./kg
- Copper (Copper Sulphate Pentahydrate) 7 mg/kg
- Selenium (Sodium Selenite) 0.15 mg/kg
- Iron (Iron Sulphate Monohydrate) 75 mg/kg
- Manganese (Manganese Oxide) 40 mg/kg
- Zinc (Zinc Oxide) 70 mg/kg
- Zinc (Zinc Chelate of Glycine Hydrate) 30 mg/kg
- Iodine (Calcium Iodate) 1.50 mg/kg
Low confidence: partial analysis or moisture 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 (52% of the recipe mass) (voluntary) | 10.4/20 |
| Analytical constituents declared (mandatory) | 15/15 |
| Additives declared (mandatory) | 10/10 |
| 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 |

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.
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.
67/100 · limited — 3 checkable claims: 2 consistent, 1 contradicted.
Contradicted by the label
- "Made in Ireland" — the declared label says otherwise on made in the UK.
Consistent with the label
- "Completely Grain Free - no wheat, maize, soy, or corn" — supported by the declared grain-free data.
- "Free from wheat, maize, soy, and corn" — supported by the declared grain-free data.
10 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.
