39.9/100Average

WetAdult

Sainsbury's standing wet recipe, set in jelly and sold as a six pack. Chicken is the only animal named, at 4% of a 36% meat and animal derivatives block, so most of the recipe has to be taken on trust. Protein and processing is what holds it in our Average band.

Our view

Likely to suit

Fussy eaters who clear a jellied tin and leave firmer food untouched
Dogs already settled on chicken and doing well
A smaller pack: six tins, no full case to store
Dogs that drink little, as 82% of each tin is moisture
Mixed households, with one recipe covering every size

Worth watching

Only chicken is pinned to a species. Poultry could sit inside the wider meat term too, which makes a chicken intolerance hard to plan around
Unnamed cereals, with carbohydrate estimated at 25.0% of dry matter against 15.8% for the typical adult wet food
Various sugars on the list, with no quantity given

The score, in context

All one Average. Typical wet food: Excellent.

The gap below the typical wet food comes from what the label leaves unnamed, and the tin itself gives no cause for concern.
