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

	01 Pinnacle Grain-Free Trout & Sweet Potato Swap Remove	02 Pinnacle Salmon & Pumpkin Swap Remove	+ Add A Food	+ Add A Food
01 Protein, Dry Matter Higher Is Better 26-32% dm reads typical mainstream.	01 Grain-Free Trout & Sweet Potato 30.0%	02 Salmon & Pumpkin 32.2% Best in this row
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 Grain-Free Trout & Sweet Potato 46% 41.0% as fed	02 Salmon & Pumpkin 38% 34.0% as fed Best in this row
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 Grain-Free Trout & Sweet Potato 2 of 5	02 Salmon & Pumpkin 3 of 5
04 Flagged Additives Level Lower Is Better Matched against the flag list.	01 Grain-Free Trout & Sweet Potato None	02 Salmon & Pumpkin None
05 Brand Recall History Level Manufacturer, not recipe.	01 Grain-Free Trout & Sweet Potato None	02 Salmon & Pumpkin 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%.

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.
