Council note
Named meat and a short list. That is the whole method for a bowl.

What pulled it down
This nutrition box cannot be rated Excellent
This is a treat pattern. It can only scrape into low Good if the list is clean and it is not ultra-processed.
Ultra-processed food cannot be rated Good
A factory recipe — flavours, colours, or many additives — cannot be rated Good. A sometimes treat, not a daily habit.
A cluster of extras blocks Excellent or Good
A cluster of extras keeps this at Poor: a sometimes product, not a habit.
What’s in the bowl
8 g protein / 100 g. Named meat on the list: Chicken. By-product meal is in the recipe. Pets need protein they can use, not a dye and a warehouse antioxidant.
Carrageenan
-14Degraded carrageenan is inflammatory in animal studies. Debate continues.
Tartrazine
-14Azo dye linked to hyperactivity in sensitive children. EFSA ADI 7.5 mg/kg.
Factory kibble pattern
Dyes, flavours or a long additive list are common in cheap kibble. Dogs and cats don’t need a tennis-ball colour.
For pet food, the bowl and the extras share the number. How processed is a smaller slice. Organic is a small bonus — it cannot cancel BHA, dyes, or by-product meal.

−14Some people find it rough on the gut. Debate continues; we treat it as worth watching.
TartrazineE102
−14Linked to restlessness in some children. You don’t need yellow food to be yellow.
Extra care for children
Chicken
No concernNamed chicken is the goal. ‘By-product meal’ is a stretch.
Salt
No concernThe nutrition box already scores it. A pinch in cooking is not a packet of noodles.
