Every Taste of the Wild recipe we have scored, ranked by composite on the public rubric. 7 recipes, from 7.6 at the top down to 6.9. We rank what the label and the public record prove, not the front of the bag.
1 of the 7 land in our Strong or Good bands; the rest sit in Mixed or Limited. A high score here is not a brand endorsement, and a low one is not a warning - each recipe stands on its own scorecard.
This is a within-brand ranking. If you are open to switching brands, the cross-brand best-for lists rank every recipe we score by a single attribute like sensitivity, value, or life stage.

The list is deterministic: the same recipe data and the same rubric always produce the same order. We take no money from Taste of the Wild, and affiliate links never change a score or its place on this list.
