Ultra-processed
Controversial extras in a pet bowl are a hard no. Swap the bag.
Better than most of this aisle — 20 of 27 sit at or below this number.
Council note
A dye or a controversial extra in a daily bowl is a hard no. Dogs do not get a treat-day exception.

Built in a factory with additives, flavours, or refined extras. Cannot be rated Good — a rare treat, not a habit.

The extras on the list set the limit. A high-concern ingredient, or a cluster of them, blocks a better rating.
What pulled it down
The nutrition box sets a limit
The nutrition box is decent, but it is not the whole story.
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 high-concern extra blocks a Good rating
A cluster of extras keeps this at Poor: a sometimes product, not a habit.
What’s in the bowl
25 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.
Monosodium glutamate
-5Flavour enhancer. Safe for most; a subset reports sensitivity.
BHA
-28IARC Group 2B antioxidant. Endocrine activity suspected.
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.

Chicken
No concernNamed chicken is the goal. ‘By-product meal’ is a stretch.
Rice
No concernStaple grain. Whole grain is the better neighbour of white rice.
