Ingredient signals visualization

Filler presence

caution

Filler-leaning ingredients can dilute nutritional intent and reduce formula clarity.

Internal methodologyRefs 2

low

Internal methodology only because broad 'filler' language is not a strong scientific category; it is used here as a conservative label-review cue rather than an evidence-backed verdict.

Quality claims review [ext]Ingredient rules

This should not be read as proof that a formula is unsuitable.

Matched ingredients: Powdered Cellulose

IQ -6Digestibility -4Safety -2

Legume presence

caution

Legume-heavy formulas deserve closer interpretation when they materially shape the ingredient deck.

Internal methodologyRefs 1

low

Internal methodology only because this layer uses legume presence as a prompt for closer context review, not as proof of harm or poor formulation.

Ingredient rules

Presence alone should not be overstated.

Matched ingredients: Peas, Pea Protein, Pea Fiber

IQ -4Digestibility -3Safety -1

Legume presence signal

caution

Legumes are materially present in the ingredient deck and should be interpreted in context.

Internal methodologyRefs 1

low

Internal methodology only because this layer uses legume presence as a prompt for closer context review, not as proof of harm or poor formulation.

Ingredient rules

Presence alone should not be overstated.

Matched ingredients: Peas, Pea Protein, Pea Fiber

IQ -4Digestibility -2

Named animal protein

positive

The ingredient deck clearly includes named animal protein rather than relying on vague animal terms.

Partially supportedRefs 3

moderate

Partially supported because transparency-focused guidance and professional review norms support the direction of this interpretation, but the exact signal effect is internal.

This is a transparency interpretation, not proof of superior health outcomes.

Plant protein concentrate

caution

Plant protein concentrates can inflate crude protein impressions without matching animal-protein quality.

Partially supportedRefs 2

low

Partially supported because label-interpretation concerns are literature-informed, but the importance assigned to this signal is still internal methodology.

Label discrepancy review [ext]Ingredient rules

This is not proof that a product is nutritionally poor.

Matched ingredients: Pea Protein

IQ -8Digestibility -3Safety -1

Protein inflation signal

caution

This label includes a plant protein concentrate that may inflate the apparent protein story.

Internal methodologyRefs 1

low

Internal methodology only at this stage because the interpretation is used as a conservative review flag, not as a source-backed outcome claim.

Ingredient rules

The presence of this flag should trigger closer reading, not a definitive judgment.

Matched ingredients: Pea Protein

IQ -8Digestibility -2

Targeted fiber support

positive

Targeted fibers such as pumpkin or chicory can support stool quality and digestive tolerance.

Partially supportedRefs 2

low

Partially supported because digestive-support framing is literature-informed, but real-world tolerance remains context-dependent.
