Ingredient signals visualization

Filler presence

caution

Filler-leaning ingredients can dilute nutritional intent and reduce formula clarity.

Internal methodologyRefs 2

low

Internal methodology only because broad 'filler' language is not a strong scientific category; it is used here as a conservative label-review cue rather than an evidence-backed verdict.

Quality claims review [ext]Ingredient rules

This should not be read as proof that a formula is unsuitable.

Matched ingredients: Brewers rice

IQ -6Digestibility -4Safety -2

Generic animal ingredient

caution

Generic animal terms weaken transparency because the source material is less clear.

Partially supportedRefs 3

moderate

Partially supported because transparency-focused guidance supports caution around vague sourcing, while the severity of the penalty remains internal methodology.

IQ -6Digestibility -1Safety -5

Marine omega support

positive

Named marine oils are a useful positive signal for skin, coat, and inflammatory support.

Partially supportedRefs 2

low

Partially supported because broad literature context exists, but product-level effect and dosing relevance are not mapped here.

Omega-3 review [ext]Ingredient rules

Presence alone is not proof of efficacy, adequacy, or bioavailable dosing.

Matched ingredients: fish oil

IQ +3Digestibility +1Safety +1

Plant protein concentrate

caution

Plant protein concentrates can inflate crude protein impressions without matching animal-protein quality.

Partially supportedRefs 2

low

Partially supported because label-interpretation concerns are literature-informed, but the importance assigned to this signal is still internal methodology.

Label discrepancy review [ext]Ingredient rules

This is not proof that a product is nutritionally poor.

Matched ingredients: corn protein meal

IQ -8Digestibility -3Safety -1

Protein inflation signal

caution

This label includes a plant protein concentrate that may inflate the apparent protein story.

Internal methodologyRefs 1

low

Internal methodology only at this stage because the interpretation is used as a conservative review flag, not as a source-backed outcome claim.

Ingredient rules

The presence of this flag should trigger closer reading, not a definitive judgment.

Matched ingredients: corn protein meal

IQ -8Digestibility -2

Transparency warning signal

caution

The ingredient panel includes vague generic animal terminology that weakens transparency.

Partially supportedRefs 3

moderate

Partially supported because vague ingredient naming can reasonably weaken transparency confidence, while the downstream impact remains internal.
