Nutrition Fit 6.0 / 10Nutrition Fit is reconstructed from deterministic dog-food v1 rules using the currently available fixture fields.
For Canine Chicken Meal Feast, the main watch-outs are: this source record has not captured a verified AAFCO adequacy statement yet; the estimated cost per calorie is high compared with similar foods; some label-transparency fields, like country or facility details, are not captured in this record yet; brand-level evidence needs more source support. This is an evidence read, not a medical recommendation.

Beef or beef-derived ingredient in top 5Beef exposure in the top five ingredients lowers the score because beef is commonly reported in canine food-reaction studies.
These flags reflect population-level prevalence of commonly reported canine food allergens in the published literature (Mueller and Olivry 2016), not a prediction that this dog will react. Read how we score this in the dog food rubric and the medical disclaimer.
