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 30.4%label: 28% min lower than 93% of dry cat foods
Fat 21.7%label: 20% min no corpus anchor for fat yet
Fiber 6.5%label: 6% max higher than 85% of dry cat foods
Est. carbohydrates ash not disclosed → 8% assumed, so this is an estimate ≈32.6%diabetic-check target <10% typical — the median dry cat food is 32.6%
Magnesium as fed: not disclosed
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 · maintenance
First five ingredients (by pre-cooking weight)Chicken by-product meal · chicken fat · brewers rice · wheat gluten · corn
Named animal protein first; named meals onlyYes
Legumes in first 10 (FDA DCM inquiry)1 (pea fiber)
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
