Hello everyone, I am Sanpang. This article is a manuscript requested by the brand. The judgment of quality meets the standard 2.0:

[Cat food judgment standard 2.0] How to judge the quality of cat food at a glance?

1. Nutritional value

The cat food analyzed today is pidan’s popular cat food, which looks like this:

This cat food has been launched for a long time and has accumulated The sales volume has been very high, and it is now produced by Fubei’s new smart factory in Shanghai, called Fuzhi.

This is the nutritional commitment value:

I got 2 more test reports (click to enlarge, slide left and right).

Detection 1:

Detection 2:

The following statistics:

Protein The promised value is 38%, and the detection value is above 42%.

The fat is around 15%, which is relatively low. The fat of cat food at this level is generally around 20%.

Both two test reports include more than 70 tests, including routine nutritional data, trace elements, heavy metals, vitamins, antioxidants, toxins, pesticide residues, fatty acids, and amino acids.

No problems were found.

2. Unit price

At present, the price mechanisms of Douyin and Taobao are different.

The price is 99 yuan/1.7kg on Taobao;

The price is 79 yuan/1.7kg on Douyin, and there is a trial package bonus mechanism.

Check the statistics:

The current price is 1kg=58.

The protein price increase index is 1.3, and the price is within a reasonable range.

However, it has been observed that the price is often 79, and a 50g sample pack is also given, which can be used for a while. At this time, the price-performance ratio is unbeatable.

3. Analysis of ingredient list

This is the ingredient list:

It’s a bit much, let’s break it down.

1. Fresh meat content: fresh chicken breast (10.1%), fresh chicken leg (10.1%), fresh chicken heart (10.1%), fresh chicken liver (5%), fresh chicken gizzard (5%) ).

The total is 40.3%.

Meat with clear parts is better. Generally, those that only mention chicken are leftovers.

2. Meat meal content: duck meal (10.1%), krill meal (9.5%), anchovy meal (5.2%).

The total is 24.8%.

Krill meal is not cheap, costing about three times as much as chicken meal.

3. Freeze-dried chicken (10%): In fact, it is also considered fresh meat. These are dry substances. If reduced to 75% moisture, they can be separately counted as 40% fresh meat.

Freeze-drying is not cheap. The cost of freeze-drying snacks is about 4 times that of puffed grains.

The low fat in the first section should be lowered by the 10% freeze-drying. For example, this is the test data of a certain chicken breast freeze-drying.

Additives also include fructooligosaccharides and probiotics that are beneficial to the gastrointestinal tract.

Summary,

The main sources of protein are chicken, chicken offal, duck, krill, and anchovy.

The ingredients look good, the parts of the meat are clear, krill powder is very expensive, and 10% freeze-dried food is also available in large quantities.
