AI ANALYSIS
What MiauMiau's AI actually sees
The formulas rely on vague 'meat and animal by-products' as the primary protein source, with only 4% of the named meat, which is low-quality and opaque. While the absence of DMB protein and carbohydrate data makes precise scoring impossible, the known composition suggests moderate protein and filler levels, and the presence of cereals and cassia gum further detracts from a carnivore-appropriate profile.
According to MiauMiau's analysis of over 5,000+ wet food products, Catessy Chunks in Sauce or Jelly Mix scores below the wet food average.
