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.

Counted, not estimated. Nothing here is a judgement about the food — it is how confident we are that we read this label correctly.

Nothing from our pet hazard list

None of the ingredients on our pet hazard list (onion, garlic and others) is on this label. That is a check of the list, not of the food, and not an allergy check: it cannot see contamination, a manufacturing fault or a food that disagrees with your animal. Still read it yourself — this is a reading aid, not a substitute for the label or your vet.

Guaranteed analysis

Up to 78% of this pack is water. The other 22% 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

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.
