The Comparison

Two Foods, One Method

The same five measures, applied to each food from its own figures.

Every food here is made by Evanger's, so the recall row cannot separate them.

Two Foods, One Method. Each row is one measure; the best figure in a row is marked.
01 Evanger's Evanger’s Heritage Classic Lamb & Rice Dinner Swap Remove 02 Evanger's Evanger’s Grain Free; Super Premium Chicken Dinner Swap Remove + Add A Food + Add A Food
01 Protein, Dry Matter Level Higher Is Better 26-32% dm reads typical mainstream. 01 Evanger’s Heritage Classic Lamb & Rice Dinner 40.9% 02 Evanger’s Grain Free; Super Premium Chicken Dinner 40.9%
02 Carbohydrate Load, Dry Matter Lower Is Better Estimated, 6% ash assumed. Estimated, 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 Evanger’s Heritage Classic Lamb & Rice Dinner 11% 0.0% as fed 02 Evanger’s Grain Free; Super Premium Chicken Dinner 16% 0.0% as fed
03 Named Proteins In The First Five Count of named animal proteins. The 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 Evanger’s Heritage Classic Lamb & Rice Dinner 2 of 5 02 Evanger’s Grain Free; Super Premium Chicken Dinner 2 of 5
04 Flagged Additives Level Lower Is Better Matched against the flag list. 01 Evanger’s Heritage Classic Lamb & Rice Dinner None 02 Evanger’s Grain Free; Super Premium Chicken Dinner None
05 Brand Recall History Level Manufacturer, not recipe. 01 Evanger’s Heritage Classic Lamb & Rice Dinner 2 None in the last 3 years 02 Evanger’s Grain Free; Super Premium Chicken Dinner 2 None in the last 3 years
Starch, As Fed Estimated, 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 Evanger’s Heritage Classic Lamb & Rice Dinner 0.0% 02 Evanger’s Grain Free; Super Premium Chicken Dinner 0.0%

Add A Food

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.
