Ingredient interpretation

Positive ingredient signals: Named animal protein, Named probiotic strain, Targeted fiber support.

The label is anchored by these protein contributors: Wild-Caught Pacific Salmon, Menhaden Fish Meal, Ocean Whitefish.

Digestive-support ingredients are present through Psyllium Seed Husk, Dried Pumpkin, Dried Chicory Root.

No major cautionary ingredient signals were triggered in this mock interpretation.

Support boundary

Ingredient signals now carry conservative claim mapping so analyzer, product, and need surfaces can distinguish source-backed interpretation from internal scoring policy.

Signal presence and score effects are separate. Support mapping describes interpretation framing, not the validity of the score impact.

Partially supported: 3. Internal methodology: 0. Unresolved: 0.

positive

A named probiotic strain is more interpretable than a vague digestive-support claim.

Partially supported because named strains improve interpretability, but this layer does not verify viability, dose, or clinical relevance.
