AI ANALYSIS
What MiauMiau's AI actually sees
The first ingredient is a named meat meal ('poultry meat (dried)'), which is acceptable, but it is immediately followed by rice and an unnamed 'animal protein (dried)', dragging down ingredient quality. The food contains multiple carbohydrate sources (rice, peas, beet pulp, carob pods) and legume protein padding, while the exact dry matter protein cannot be calculated due to missing moisture data, making the true protein adequacy uncertain.
According to MiauMiau's analysis of over 5,000+ dry food products, Smilla Young Sterilised Poultry scores close to the dry food average.
