Worth a closer look
4 ingredients in this product are debated. None of this is a verdict on safety — it's what to ask your vet about.
BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole)
Classified by the US National Toxicology Program as reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen, and banned from food in parts of the EU and Japan. Natural alternatives (mixed tocopherols, rosemary) do the same job.
BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene)
Linked to liver and kidney effects in animal studies at high doses. Widely avoided by premium brands in favour of natural preservation.
Animal digest
The source animal is never specified and it signals a formula relying on flavour coating rather than palatable ingredients.
Sodium metabisulfite
Destroys thiamine (vitamin B1). Thiamine deficiency is a serious, documented cause of neurological illness in cats.
