Why it costs points and sources
Grapes, raisins, sultanas and currants are toxic to dogs and can cause kidney injury.
Sources - ElderberryNoted, no points takenBotanical / 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
Elderberries contain natural compounds that can release cyanide. Small amounts are low risk, but we flag them as a caution.
- MarjoramNoted, no points takenBotanical / flavouring
Why it’s noted and sources
Can upset a dog's stomach in larger amounts; at the small amounts used as a flavouring, EU assessors found it very unlikely to cause harm.
