Ingredient notes

3 noted, none cost points: chamomile, parsley and yucca extract. 23 flagged nothing.

3 noted
23 nothing flagged

ChamomileNoted, no points taken
Botanical / flavouring
Plant extras like this are usually added in tiny amounts, so points are taken only when the label declares 1% or more.
Why it’s noted and sources
The ASPCA lists chamomile as toxic to dogs, with stomach upset and allergic reactions, and warns that long-term use can cause bleeding problems. The amounts in dog food are small; we flag it as a caution.
Sources
- ASPCA Animal Poison Control
- FSA register of feed additives (GB)
ParsleyNoted, no points taken
Feed material (vegetable)
Why it’s noted and sources
Only large amounts cause problems (sun sensitivity); the small amounts used in food aren't a concern.
Sources
Yucca extractNoted, no points taken
Feed material (flavouring)
Why it’s noted and sources
Added to reduce stool odour. The ASPCA lists the yucca plant as toxic to dogs, and in a dog study the extract raised a liver enzyme at 750 mg/kg of food, though not at 500. Labels rarely give the amount. We note it, but take no points off.
