	01 Simply Nourish Source Adult - Salmon, High-Protein, Grain Free Swap Remove	02 Simply Nourish Large Breed Adult Grain-Free Swap Remove	+ Add A Food	+ Add A Food
01 Protein, Dry Matter Higher Is Better 26-32% dm reads typical mainstream.	01 Source Adult - Salmon, High-Protein, Grain Free 38.9% Best in this row	02 Large Breed Adult Grain-Free 30.0%
02 Carbohydrate Load, Dry Matter Lower Is Better Estimated, 6% ash assumed. iEstimated, not measured. It is what is left of the guaranteed analysis once protein, fat, fiber and moisture are taken out, with ash assumed at 6%. That leftover is mostly starch but also carries sugars and the fiber a crude-fiber test misses, so read it as a close estimate rather than an exact figure. Measured as fed, the same basis as the bag.	01 Source Adult - Salmon, High-Protein, Grain Free 31% 28.0% as fed Best in this row	02 Large Breed Adult Grain-Free 41% 37.0% as fed
03 Named Proteins In The First Five Count of named animal proteins. iThe count matches any named animal word in the opening five ingredients, so it also counts animal fats and flavourings as proteins. It is shown because it is one of the five measured lines, but it is too rough to call a winner on.	01 Source Adult - Salmon, High-Protein, Grain Free 3 of 5	02 Large Breed Adult Grain-Free 2 of 5
04 Flagged Additives Level Lower Is Better Matched against the flag list.	01 Source Adult - Salmon, High-Protein, Grain Free None	02 Large Breed Adult Grain-Free None

Starch, As Fed iEstimated, not measured. It is what is left of the guaranteed analysis once protein, fat, fiber and moisture are taken out, with ash assumed at 6%. That leftover is mostly starch but also carries sugars and the fiber a crude-fiber test misses, so read it as a close estimate rather than an exact figure.

Every figure here is the food's own. Protein and carbohydrate are converted to dry matter so foods of different moisture can be set beside each other; starch is estimated from the guaranteed analysis with ash assumed at 6.0%, and the recall record belongs to the manufacturer rather than to the recipe. Two rows are printed but never marked: the named-protein count, because the detection behind it is too rough to call a winner on, and calories, because neither more nor fewer is better without knowing the dog.
