What is in the food?
Ocean fish meal, two potato varieties, tomato pomace and chicken fat; mineral/vitamin supplements, calcium propionate and yeast extract.
Natural ingredients, additives & processing
Calcium propionate is explicitly a preservative. The fish recipe contains chicken fat despite its single-meat-protein claim.
Does it contain MSG?
MSG is not named on the checked recipe label. This is not laboratory-confirmed absence or a claim about every recipe.
No declared MSG describes the checked label only. It is not a claim about every recipe or a laboratory finding.Checked recipes & composition
Flavours, markets, life stages and processing methods within a brand can use different formulas. These label figures apply only to the listed samples.
