How we chose these
We list foods from other brands in our database that share a format and life stage with ACANA's range. "Worth a look for" and "Trade-offs" are generated from the label data: ingredient groups, protein on a dry-matter basis, price per day for a 20 kg adult, and recall records. Nobody paid for a place on this list. Read our methodology.
