The evidence

The Verified Label

Every food on this site gets this exact panel — same fields, same order, sourced from the official label — so brands finally become comparable. Corpus dot-anchors currently cover dry food only — this is a wet food, so anchors are omitted below rather than compared across forms.

Composition — dry-matter basis

why dry matter

Moisture hides the real recipe: kibble is ~10% water, canned food ~78%. 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.

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 dogs in AAFCO-procedure trials ("Animal feeding tests using AAFCO procedures substantiate…").

Formulated to meet · maintenance

First five ingredients (by pre-cooking weight)Whitefish · Potatoes · Chicken Broth · Water · Chicken Liver

Named animal protein first; named meals onlyYes

Legumes in first 10 (FDA DCM inquiry)2 (peas, pea fiber)

BHA / BHT preservativesNone on label

Carrageenan (thickener)Yes

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
