|---|---|
| Ingredient list on the label (mandatory) | 10/10 |
| Printed percentages on the label (45% of the recipe mass) (voluntary) | 9/20 |
| Analytical constituents declared (mandatory) - not on file | 0/15 |
| Additives declared (mandatory) | 5/10 |
| 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.
Claims on file; none we can check against the label
| Claim | Type | Check | Substantiation |
|---|---|---|---|
| grain-free dry food (on page) | Free-from | not checkable | Manufacturer assertion |
| made in Australia using quality Australian proteins and selected natural ingredients (on page) | Content | not checkable | Manufacturer assertion |
| Combining chicken and duck for a meaty flavour (on page) | Content | not checkable | Manufacturer assertion |
| suitable for adult dogs of all breeds (on page) | Functional | not checkable | Manufacturer assertion |
