AI ANALYSIS
What MiauMiau's AI actually sees
The first ingredient is the vague category 'meat and animal derivatives' rather than a named meat, and the named poultry (chicken/turkey) makes up only 4% of the product, which is extremely low. While the dry-matter protein is adequate at 48.3%, the formula relies on unnamed derivatives, vegetable protein extracts, cereals, and added sugars, which are inappropriate for obligate carnivores.
According to MiauMiau's analysis of over 5,000+ dry food products, Sheba Mini Poultry Fillets in Sauce scores close to the dry food average.
