Legume-heavy formulas deserve closer interpretation when they materially shape the ingredient deck.
Internal methodology only because this layer uses legume presence as a prompt for closer context review, not as proof of harm or poor formulation.
Matched ingredients: pea starch, pea fiber
Legumes are materially present in the ingredient deck and should be interpreted in context.

Matched ingredients: pea starch, pea fiber
The ingredient deck clearly includes named animal protein rather than relying on vague animal terms.
Partially supported because transparency-focused guidance and professional review norms support the direction of this interpretation, but the exact signal effect is internal.
Matched ingredients: Lamb
Targeted fibers such as pumpkin or chicory can support stool quality and digestive tolerance.
Partially supported because digestive-support framing is literature-informed, but real-world tolerance remains context-dependent.
