Complete diet — unconfirmed▾▴
We classified this as a main meal by its format, but couldn't find a “complete and balanced” nutritional adequacy statement in the photos — the single most reliable proof a food is nutritionally complete. Its absence here doesn't mean the food is incomplete; we just can't confirm it from these images.
Example — what to look for
"This food is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for All Life Stages."
Look for wording like this — usually in small print on the back or side of the pack. It may also appear in your local language.
