Why it costs points and sources
Added sugar is there for taste. Dogs have no need for it, and it adds calories without nutrition.
- 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.
12 ingredients with nothing flagged

Allowed up to a legal maximum, none declared above it: copper, iodine, iron, manganese, vitamin A (retinyl acetate), vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), zinc
