AI ANALYSIS
What MiauMiau's AI actually sees
This food provides adequate animal-sourced protein on a dry matter basis (49%), but its first ingredient is an unnamed 'meat and animal by-products' mix. The recipe is padded with grain as the second ingredient, and contains both added sugars and cassia gum, making it a poor choice for an obligate carnivore.
According to MiauMiau's analysis of over 5,000+ wet food products, Whiskas 1+ Mixed Menu in Jelly scores below the wet food average.
