AI ANALYSIS
What MiauMiau's AI actually sees
The dry-matter protein is strong at 53.4% and carbs are fairly low (12.3%), meeting advanced carnivore needs. However, the majority of protein comes from unnamed meat and animal derivatives, and the formula includes both cereals and added sugars, which are unnecessary and dilute overall ingredient quality.
According to MiauMiau's analysis of over 5,000+ dry food products, Whiskas Duo Classic Selection in Jelly scores close to the dry food average.
