Compared with the reading we held before. The list is printed heaviest first, so a line that moves is a change in what the food is made of. The analysis figures are the pack's guarantees — minimums and maximums — and the water-free and per-100-kcal figures are worked out from them, so they are estimates. This says what changed, not whether it is better — the score is worked out from the current recipe.

Guaranteed analysis
Up to 9% of this pack is water. The other 91% or more is the dry matter (the food) — and that is what the right column divides up: protein, fat, fibre, ash and carbohydrate, as shares of it. The left column counts the water in, which is why nothing in it can be compared with another pack.
| On the pack | Dry matter | |
|---|---|---|
| 40% min | ≈ 44% | |
| 18% min | ≈ 19.8% | |
| 4% max | ≈ 4.4% | |
| 9% max | — | |
| 0.15% min | — | |
| Omega 3 Fatty Acids | 0.5% min | — |
| Omega 6 Fatty Acids | 3.25% min | — |

These are guarantees, not measurements — minimums for protein and fat, maximums for fibre, moisture and ash. So ≈ marks a figure worked out from them rather than printed: close rather than exact. Read off the pack.
