The Comparison

Two Foods, One Method

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

Every food here is made by Raw Bistro, so the recall row cannot separate them.

Lamb Grind with Turkey - Gently Cooked Frozen is missing carbohydrate load, so it is judged on fewer measures than the others here.

Two Foods, One Method. Each row is one measure; the best figure in a row is marked.
01 Raw Bistro Chicken Entree 6 Pack Frozen Swap Remove 02 Raw Bistro Lamb Grind with Turkey - Gently Cooked Frozen Swap Remove + Add A Food + Add A Food
01 Protein, Dry Matter Higher Is Better 26-32% dm reads typical mainstream. 01 Chicken Entree 6 Pack Frozen 48.1% 02 Lamb Grind with Turkey - Gently Cooked Frozen 51.5% Best in this row
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 Chicken Entree 6 Pack Frozen 9% 0.0% as fed 02 Lamb Grind with Turkey - Gently Cooked Frozen -- Needs protein, fat, fiber and moisture.
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 Chicken Entree 6 Pack Frozen 4 of 5 02 Lamb Grind with Turkey - Gently Cooked Frozen 5 of 5
04 Flagged Additives Level Lower Is Better Matched against the flag list. 01 Chicken Entree 6 Pack Frozen None 02 Lamb Grind with Turkey - Gently Cooked Frozen None
05 Brand Recall History Level Manufacturer, not recipe. 01 Chicken Entree 6 Pack Frozen None 02 Lamb Grind with Turkey - Gently Cooked Frozen None

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.
