Key points

Protein source

Watch

Whole plant protein source observed early

Top 3: Hydrolyzed Salmon Meat, Organic Brown Rice, Organic Whole Millet

The protein number may include influence from whole plant ingredients.

This is not treated like processed protein boosting, but it is worth checking.

This food can stay in comparison, but ingredient quality still needs a more conservative read.

There is enough public data to keep this food in comparison, but the top ingredient structure does not support a stronger positive claim yet.

Nutritional strengths

  • Calorie density is on the lower side.
  • Nutrient disclosure is broad enough to compare real numbers directly.

What still needs work

  • Whole plant protein sources can contribute to crude protein, so the animal-protein share still needs a closer read.
  • Calcium:Phosphorus Ratio sits near the upper end of the preferred range, so a more conservative read makes sense.
  • Fish protein is still the first ingredient, but plant-protein boosters high in the recipe make it a more cautious alternative-protein candidate.

Brand context

Brand background availableRecall research scope limited

Founded in 2009 in South Korea. The currently searched public sources are not enough to make a confident recall or withdrawal call for this brand.

Ingredient analysis

The top ingredients are still usable, but this is the part to inspect more carefully before calling the recipe a clear strength.

Ingredient Analysis Comments

  • •Hydrolyzed Salmon Meat is a species-named animal meal ingredient. It is rendered rather than fresh, but the species source is still clearly identified. It reads as an upper-tier protein source.
  • •Organic Brown Rice is a whole or coarse grain ingredient. It usually plays more of a carbohydrate and fiber role than a core protein role. It reads as an upper-tier carb and fiber source.
  • •Organic Whole Millet is a whole or coarse grain ingredient. It usually plays more of a carbohydrate and fiber role than a core protein role. It reads as an upper-tier carb and fiber source.
