What is in the food?
Turkey & Chicken also contains whitefish meal, potatoes and chickpeas. The name does not mean only two animal proteins or an all-meat food.
Natural ingredients, additives & processing
Includes yeast-derived natural flavour, vitamins and minerals. Animal-welfare sourcing claims and nutritional adequacy answer different questions.
Does it contain MSG?
No MSG is listed; the manufacturer identifies the natural flavour as yeast-derived. That is not proof of deliberately added monosodium glutamate.
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.
