Ingredient Wiki
Water Sufficient for Processing
Water added to a recipe so it can be mixed, cooked and canned, as distinct from moisture native to the…
Brewers Rice
The small fragments of rice kernel separated out during milling, a by-product of producing whole white rice.
Corn Flour
Flour milled from corn, used as a binder and carbohydrate.
Chicken Liver
The liver of the chicken, an organ meat.
Pork By-Products
The parts of the pig left after the flesh is removed, such as organs and trimmings.
What’s in the can
- First ingredient
- Water sufficient for processing, there for moisture. Almost every wet food opens with water or broth; what follows it is the recipe.
- First meat
- chicken liver, fourth on the list. Named meats near the top: chicken liver, pork by-products and chicken.
- Thickeners and binders
- carrageenan, sodium tripolyphosphate and guar gum. They give the food its texture and hold pieces together. Normal in wet food; starches and flours also add carbohydrate.
- Added color
- None listed.
- Flagged additives
- vitamins[DL-alpha tocopherol acetate (source of vitamin E), L-ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate (source of vitamin C), thiamine mononitrate (vitamin B1), niacin supplement, biotin, D-calcium pantothenate, riboflavin supplement, pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B6), vitamin B12 supplement, folic acid, vitamin D3 supplement, menadione sodium bisulfite complex].

Ingredients are listed heaviest first, and a dog food needs very little salt, so the tail of the list is present in very small amounts.
Wet food is mostly water, so the label’s percentages look small next to kibble. Taking the water out is the only fair way to compare it with other foods.
| NUTRIENT | ON THE LABEL | WATER OUT | TOPPER MEDIAN |
|---|---|---|---|
| PROTEIN | 4.5% | 13.4% | 42.1% |
| FAT | 2.0% | 5.9% | 18.8% |
| FIBER | 2.8% | 8.3% | - |
| CARBS (EST.) | - | 66.5% | - |
Carbohydrate is not on any label: it is what is left after protein, fat, fiber, water and an assumed 2% ash.
