One Food, One Method. Each row is one measure; the best figure in a row is marked.

	01 Now Fresh Lamb & Pork Grain-Free Swap Remove	+ Add A Food	+ Add A Food	+ Add A Food
01 Protein, Dry Matter Higher Is Better 26-32% dm reads typical mainstream.	01 Lamb & Pork Grain-Free 26.7%
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 Lamb & Pork Grain-Free 43% 39.0% 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 Lamb & Pork Grain-Free 2 of 5
04 Flagged Additives Lower Is Better Matched against the flag list.	01 Lamb & Pork Grain-Free None
05 Brand Recall History Lower Is Better Manufacturer, not recipe.	01 Lamb & Pork 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%.

Price / Lb Lowest Across Bag Sizes	01 Lamb & Pork Grain-Free $5.00 22 lb bag, Chewy
Cost / 1,000 Kcal Lower Is Cheaper To Feed What the same amount of energy costs, so a denser food is not penalized for a higher price per pound.	01 Lamb & Pork Grain-Free $3.03

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.
