AI ANALYSIS
What MiauMiau's AI actually sees
First ingredient is 'cereals (40% whole wheat)'—a grain—making this food fundamentally plant-based despite the salmon marketing. Protein comes from unnamed 'meat and animal by-products' and 'fish by-products', with DMB protein uncertain due to missing moisture but likely marginal; plus ambiguous 'antioxidants' may include synthetic preservatives.
According to MiauMiau's analysis of over 5,000+ dry food products, Cat Chow Special Care Sensitive Rijk Aan Zalm scores below the dry food average.
