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: 10% min higher than 81% of wet cat foods
Fat 9.3%label: 1.4% min no corpus anchor for fat yet
Fiber 3.3%label: 0.5% max no corpus anchor for wet-food fiber yet
Est. carbohydrates computed from disclosed ash ≈12.7%diabetic-check target <10% higher than 78% of wet cat foods
Magnesium as fed: 0.018% 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…").
Not found on label
First five ingredients (by pre-cooking weight)Chicken (Boneless, Skinless Breast) · Chicken Broth · Potato Starch · Sunflower Seed Oil · Calcium Lactate
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

For your cat, specifically

Checked for a 10-lb adult cat with urinary health + a low-carb goal — the same published criteria our finder uses. Change your cat above and these update.

Life-stage coverage not disclosedNo AAFCO nutrient-adequacy statement was found on the label for this SKU, so we cannot confirm adult-maintenance coverage.
Passes our urinary-health magnesium check0.1% magnesium (dry-matter) is at or under the ~0.12% DM level commonly cited to help manage struvite-crystal risk. As a wet food, it also delivers more water than a dry kibble, which independently supports urinary health.

Too many estimated carbs for a low-carb target≈12.7% carbohydrate (dry-matter, estimated) is over the ~10% DM target some vets use for diabetic cats. Estimate only — not a lab measurement. See lower-carb options →
