Morrisons Chief Tasty Chunks: In Jelly With Chicken (1.2kg) review

Name: Morrisons Chief Tasty Chunks: In Jelly With Chicken (1.2kg)
Brand: Morrisons

41.2/100Average

WetAdult

Flavour

Morrisons' big everyday tin, as chunks in gravy or chunks in jelly, both in our Average band. The analysis reads steadier than the label suggests. What holds the score down is how little the ingredient list spells out, with category terms doing nearly all the work.

Our view

Likely to suit

Several dogs to feed, from toy to giant, on one recipe
Dogs that like their dinner soft and saucy
Dogs that barely touch the water bowl, since roughly four fifths of each tin is moisture
Adding the dog's dinner to the supermarket trolley
A dog that has done well on it for years. Nothing here asks you to change

Worth watching

Meat and animal derivatives can be any land animal, which rules out an elimination diet
Cereals are unnamed, so the grain can change between batches
Various sugars on both lists, added for taste

The score, in context

In Jelly 41.2
In Gravy 33.4

All two Average. Typical wet food: Excellent.

Nothing in either tin is a safety concern; the category terms simply give our scoring very little to reward.

Against the range

Protein and fat, as fed: 6.5% and 3.5%; The gravy tin is 6% and 3%.
Carbohydrate: 35.0% of dry matter; The gravy is 37.9%.
Calcium: Not declared; Declared on the gravy tin.

Slightly richer in the bowl and the better scorer of the pair, in a bigger tin.

Both tins carry the same four entries: meat and animal derivatives with chicken at 4%, cereals, minerals and various sugars. Neither the animals nor the grains are named. Protein converts to 32.4% and 32.5% of dry matter, and carbohydrate to 37.9% in the gravy and 35.0% in the jelly. The added vitamin panels are dosed but differ between the two.
