Pet Food Labels
All pet foods must be correctly labelled. The ingredients listed will always be in order with the largest ingredient quantity listed first down to the smallest ingredient quantity. You can read about the labelling standards here.
When appraising cat foods using our checklist tool, it is important to understand the order in which the ingredients you are looking for are listed.
For example, you would want to see ‘real meat’ as the number #1 ingredient. If it is listed lower down, then it is likely the cat food does not contain suitable quantities of real meat for your cat.
Likewise with harmful ingredients. The product may list potatoes as an ingredient, however, if this is listed low on the list it is likely that the quantity of potato is small and therefore may not be a concern.
