Flavour

Three wet recipes in our Excellent band, each naming its meat and printing a figure beside it. Hearty Hog Roast is all pork; the other two pair a bird with a second animal. Vegetables, a named grain and a scattering of herbs fill in behind.

Named ingredients

Turkey & Pork (60%) (Turkey 30%, Pork 30%), Courgette (4%), Dried Spelt (2%, equivalent to 4% Spelt), Dried Tomato (2%, equivalent to 4% Tomato), Minerals, Linseed, Dried Herbs & Botanicals (0.2%) (Seaweed, Nettle, Rosemary, Bay, Dill, Mint, Oregano, Thyme, Chamomile, Turmeric, Reishi Mushroom, Valerian Root), Chicory (a source of Inulin), Dried Blueberry.

Against the range

Protein, dry matter: 50.0%; 40.0% and 34.6% in the 390g recipes.
Carbohydrate, dry matter: 2.7%; 14% to 15.4% elsewhere.
Pack: 150g; 390g for the other two.

The most protein-dense tin here once the water comes out, and the lightest on energy.

Freshly prepared meat opens every list with its own percentage: about 60% of each tin is animal, from one or two named species. Peas, green beans or courgette take the vegetable slot, and barley, quinoa or spelt carry the grain, so nothing in the range is grain free.

Every recipe ends the same way: flaxseed or linseed, chicory root for prebiotic FOS, dried blueberry and a 0.2% herb and botanical blend at trace level. The added panels differ: the two 390g recipes share one, while Turkey Dinner names three minerals and no vitamins.
