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: corn gluten meal

IQ -6Digestibility -4Safety -2

Generic animal ingredient

caution

Generic animal terms weaken transparency because the source material is less clear.

Partially supportedRefs 3
moderate

Partially supported because transparency-focused guidance supports caution around vague sourcing, while the severity of the penalty remains internal methodology.

IQ -6Digestibility -1Safety -5

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: soybean meal

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: soybean meal

IQ -4Digestibility -2Safety 0

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.

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: corn gluten meal

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: corn gluten meal

IQ -8Digestibility -2Safety 0

Transparency warning signal

caution

The ingredient panel includes vague generic animal terminology that weakens transparency.

Partially supportedRefs 3
moderate

Partially supported because vague ingredient naming can reasonably weaken transparency confidence, while the downstream impact remains internal.
