AI ANALYSIS
What MiauMiau's AI actually sees
First ingredients are vague 'meat and animal by-products' and 'vegetable protein extracts', with named meats at only 4%, ranking poorly against carnivore standards. Added sugar in every recipe is a clear adverse additive, and missing moisture data prevents accurate dry matter assessment, leaving protein and carb levels uncertain.
According to MiauMiau's analysis of over 5,000+ wet food products, Gourmet à la carte Recepten van de chef scores below the wet food average.
