- Meat and animal derivativesCounted in “What kind of meat?”Feed material (declared category)
An unnamed category: the label doesn’t say which animal or plant parts are used. It costs points under “What kind of meat?” rather than as a deduction.
- ChamomileNoted, 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
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.
