This food uses whole tuna fillet as the first ingredient but includes rice flour as a filler in the second position of most varieties, lowering ingredient quality. It excels in protein content (81.2% DMB) and very low carbohydrates (5.6% DMB), though the unspecified vegetable gelling agent and rice flour prevent top filler and additive scores.
