How this score is worked out
Five parts, weighted as below, applied the same way to every food on the site. Percentages are dry matter, which takes the water out so wet and dry foods can be judged on one basis.
- Ingredient quality · 35 pts
- Starts neutral, then moves on what the label names: a named meat first and several named proteins near the top earn points; unnamed “meat meal”, by-products, grain fillers in the first five, artificial preservatives and colours lose them.
- Protein · 25 pts
- 18% dry matter is the AAFCO adult minimum and scores nothing; 40% scores full marks.
- Carbohydrate load · 20 pts
- 20% dry matter or less scores full marks; 60% or more scores nothing.
- Fat balance · 10 pts
- A band, not a ramp: 12–20% dry matter is the target, and too little costs as much as too much.
- Recall record · 10 pts
- Full marks with no recall on record. A recall costs more the more recently it happened.
