Instinct
The manufacturer publishes substantial testing and nutrition-team information, but the checked Original Chicken page did not expose its exact life-stage statement or calories. Resolve those before a main-meal recommendation.
Missing adequacy, incomplete analysis or a material label mismatch needs resolving before choosing this as the main meal.

What is in the food?
Original Chicken combines poultry and fish meals with peas and tapioca; it contains a freeze-dried raw coating. It is not a single-animal-protein diet.
Natural ingredients, additives & processing
Vitamins, minerals, taurine, choline and preservatives are declared. The raw coating does not make cooked kibble equivalent to a full raw meal.
Does it contain MSG?
MSG is not named on Original Chicken’s ingredient list. “Natural flavor” is unspecified on this page; ingredient review cannot establish chemical absence.
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.
