LimitedThis 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
- The first ingredient is a species-named fresh meat.
- Crude protein is on the higher side.
What still needs work
- Plant proteins can lift crude protein on the label, but the real animal-protein share still needs a closer check.
- The top three are animal-led, but legumes repeat just below them in the early full ingredient list. Read this as a possible ingredient-splitting pattern rather than a clean top-three issue.
- Family-level animal ingredients sit high in the recipe, so ingredient quality still needs a more cautious read.
Brand context
Brand background availableRecall research scope limited
Founded in 2010 in South Korea. The English-language public recall sources checked here are not enough to make a confident recall 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
- •Fresh deboned chicken (35%) is a named fresh meat ingredient. The animal source is clearly identified. It reads as an top-tier protein source.
- •Chicken meal(34%) 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.
- •Fish meal(5%) is a family-level animal meal. Animal protein is present, but species transparency is one step lower. It reads as an mid-tier protein source.

Ingredient qualityNutrient disclosure levelManufacturing & trust
This review score combines ingredient composition, nutrient disclosure, manufacturing trust, and core nutrient caution signals.
Nutrient disclosure
Limited disclosure
This section is more about what is still undisclosed than about reading a complete nutrient story.
Safety verification
No fails
No major red flag jumps out first, though undisclosed rows still define the limits of this safety read.
Public data trust (ETF)
D tier
Only basic guaranteed analysis is visible, so deeper nutrition comparison stays hard to trust.
