Composition — dry-matter basis

why dry matter
Moisture hides the real recipe: dry food is ~5-10% water, wet food ~75-82%. Removing water puts every food on one scale, so these are the only nutrition numbers that can be compared across foods. As-fed label values shown small.
Protein 66.7%label: 8% min higher than 84% of wet cat foods
Fat 12.5%label: 1.5% min no corpus anchor for fat yet
Fiber 8.3%label: 1% max no corpus anchor for wet-food fiber yet
Est. carbohydrates computed from disclosed ash ≈3.3%diabetic-check target <10% typical — the median wet cat food is 4.6%
Magnesium as fed: 0.02% max
why 0.12% DM
A commonly cited veterinary target for helping manage struvite-crystal (urinary) risk in cats is magnesium under roughly 0.12% on a dry-matter basis. This is a general, label-checkable guideline — not a diagnosis, and not a substitute for your vet, especially for cats with a history of urinary issues.

Standards & ingredients

AAFCO statement
what this means
Two kinds of AAFCO claims exist. Most foods are only "formulated to meet" nutrient profiles — a paper calculation. A smaller set carry the stronger claim: fed to real cats in AAFCO-procedure trials ("Animal feeding tests using AAFCO procedures substantiate…").
 Formulated to meet · all_life_stages
First five ingredients (by pre-cooking weight)Chicken · chicken broth · turkey broth · tapioca starch · salmon oil (preserved with mixed tocopherols)
Named animal protein first; named meals onlyYes
Legumes in first 10 (FDA DCM inquiry)None
BHA / BHT preservativesNone on label
Carrageenan (thickener)None
Ethoxyquin
why unknown
When a fish-meal supplier adds ethoxyquin, U.S. rules don't require it on the finished label — so no label can prove its absence for recipes containing fish meal. We report this as a gap rather than guessing.
 None — no fish meal in this recipe

The maker

Who makes this — and how they back it up

The four questions the WSAVA nutrition guidelines tell you to ask a pet-food company. Every answer is sourced or marked as an undisclosed gap — never guessed. This is the "is it made competently?" axis that star-rating sites skip.

Owns its manufacturing Owns its plants

Fromm states directly that it does not contract manufacture; all production occurs at company-owned Wisconsin facilities.

Employs a qualified nutritionist Yes — sourced

Dr. Danielle Opetz, PhD in Nutritional Sciences (with an MS in Animal Science, companion animal nutrition emphasis), holds a named leadership role on Fromm's R&D/nutrition team. She is a PhD nutritionist, not a stated ACVN/ECVCN board-certified veterinary diplomate — no board certification was found in this source.

AAFCO feeding trials Undisclosed

No feeding-trial AAFCO statement found on the 163 labels we’ve verified for this brand, and no company-wide claim was found either. Most pet foods are only "formulated to meet" AAFCO profiles (a paper calculation) rather than fed to real animals in trials — this is common, not necessarily a red flag.

Peer-reviewed research Unconfirmed

4 PubMed-indexed papers carry this brand's name in an author affiliation — but without a recognized pet-nutrition research arm we can't confirm these are the company's own studies rather than unrelated name matches (surnames, the taxonomic family "Canidae", institutions). We don't count it as confirmed research.
