PetScored is not scoring this product because the fresh/subscription evidence standard is not met. Brand-level evidence is captured, but recipe-specific label data and deterministic profile-based pricing are not strong enough for a rating, rank, or recommendation.

Public UI policy
Source-hold records show gaps, not ratings.
When a fresh/subscription food is missing recipe-specific label evidence or a deterministic price scenario, PetScored may publish a not-scored page. The page can explain what is known and what is missing, but it cannot show a numeric score, appear in rankings, or imply a recommendation.
Verification status
Source-capture hold.
Core label or price evidence for this product is not yet strong enough to publish at full confidence.
We capture missing records rather than guess them. The open gaps stay listed below until each one is closed by a source.
The brand signals captured so far are shown for auditability, but they do not change the product score until the record is verified.

What we know
Captured from source records.
Manufacturer source states recipes are complete and balanced according to AAFCO standards and formulated by on-staff board-certified veterinary nutritionists.
Manufacturer source states recipes are gently cooked, human-grade, produced in USDA-inspected facilities, and batch-tested.
Manufacturer FAQ states recipe ingredient lists are shown in the recommended meal-plan questionnaire, not on a stable public recipe label page.
Manufacturer FAQ states exact price depends on dog profile, recipe choice, and food needs; plans start at about $2/day but this is not a deterministic profile/recipe/portion price scenario.
A third-party label capture for the Beef Recipe provides ingredients and guaranteed analysis, but it is not a primary manufacturer label source.
Current FDA warning-letter table export checked 1,000 rows with zero The Farmer's Dog matches; active-warning-letter status remains unknown until full export/archive coverage is available.
Why not scored?
Held for source capture.
Fresh-food standard not met: recipe-specific manufacturer/package/customer-plan ingredient list is not captured.
Fresh-food standard not met: recipe-specific manufacturer/package/customer-plan guaranteed analysis is not captured.
Recipe calories are not captured from a primary manufacturer label source.
Fresh-food standard not met: subscription price depends on dog profile and is not captured as a reproducible profile/recipe/portion price scenario.
Do not create a public scorecard until manufacturer/customer-plan label evidence and a deterministic price basis are available; if public, use only source-hold/not-scored language.
PetScored can show captured brand-level and third-party context, but these fields are not converted into a public score until recipe-specific label and price evidence meet the fresh-food standard.

Adequacy
Held under the fresh-food evidence standard. Recipe-specific manufacturer/package/customer-plan AAFCO adequacy text has not been captured for this public display record.
Source record
Evidence stays visible.
Brand-level nutrition, safety, AAFCO, nutritionist, and feeding-trial claims are captured, but the fresh-food evidence standard is not met because official/customer-plan recipe-specific label and deterministic profile-based price evidence are still not available enough for a live scorecard.
