Morrisons Tins: Loaf review

Name: Morrisons Tins: Loaf
Brand: Morrisons

40.7/100Average

WetAdult

Flavour

Two everyday Morrisons lines, chunks in jelly and a smooth loaf, both in our Average band. The loaf is the meatier of the pair once the water is set aside, and it skips the cereals and sugars the jelly carries. Nothing in either tin is a worry; the label simply tells you very little.

Our view

Likely to suit

Picking dog food up on the weekly shop
A dog that has eaten supermarket tins for years without trouble
Dogs that drink sparingly. Both are better than four fifths water
A change of flavour name: beef, chicken and turkey on both lines
Every size, the jelly label feeding small dogs to the largest

Worth watching

Only 4% tied to a named animal, so neither line can anchor an elimination diet
Unnamed cereals and various sugars on the jelly labels
No declared calories, so the energy figures are our estimates

The score, in context

Chunks In Jelly 33.5

All two Average. Typical wet food: Excellent.

Little named meat for the scoring to reward keeps both tins below the wet-food middle, and the analysis itself is sound.

Protein, dry matter: 44.4%; Jelly 32.4%.
Fat, dry matter: 36.1%; Jelly 16.2%.
Cereals and sugars: None; Both on the jelly.

On the analysis alone this reads as a proper meat tin, and it is the one to choose of the pair.

Two supermarket lines, each sold under beef, chicken and turkey labels. Both build their animal content from meat and animal derivatives, with 4% of the tin tied to the named animal: 33% in total on the chunks in jelly, 60% on the loaf. The jelly adds unnamed cereals and various sugars; the loaf keeps to the meat, minerals and a trace of rosemary. Neither tin declares its calories, so the energy figures are our estimates.
