AI ANALYSIS
What MiauMiau's AI actually sees
The first and dominant ingredient across recipes is the vague 'meat and animal by-products', preventing a higher protein quality score despite excellent protein and carb numbers on paper. The formula explicitly contains 'sugar' and also lists 'grain'/'cereals', dragging down both filler and additive scores for an obligate carnivore.
According to MiauMiau's analysis of over 5,000+ wet food products, Sheba Saus Collectie Fijne Verscheidenheid MSC scores above the wet food average.
