01 Protein, Dry Matter Higher Is Better 26-32% dm reads typical mainstream.	01 Triple Steak Flavor: High Protein 28.0% Best in this row	02 Homestyle Grilled Beef & Vegetable Flavors 23.2%	03 Garden of Vegan Plant-Based 26.1%
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 Triple Steak Flavor: High Protein 50% 41.0% as fed	02 Homestyle Grilled Beef & Vegetable Flavors 55% 45.0% as fed	03 Garden of Vegan Plant-Based 40% 4.8% 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 Triple Steak Flavor: High Protein 1 of 5	02 Homestyle Grilled Beef & Vegetable Flavors 1 of 5	03 Garden of Vegan Plant-Based 0 of 5
04 Flagged Additives Lower Is Better Matched against the flag list.	01 Triple Steak Flavor: High Protein 7 BHA, BHT, Propylene glycol, Red 40, Blue 2, Yellow 5, Yellow 6	02 Homestyle Grilled Beef & Vegetable Flavors 6 BHA, Propylene glycol, Red 40, Blue 1, Yellow 5, Yellow 6	03 Garden of Vegan Plant-Based None Best in this row
05 Brand Recall History Lower Is Better Manufacturer, not recipe.	01 Triple Steak Flavor: High Protein 1 None in the last 3 years	02 Homestyle Grilled Beef & Vegetable Flavors 1 None in the last 3 years	03 Garden of Vegan Plant-Based None Best in this row
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%. 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 Triple Steak Flavor: High Protein 41.0%	02 Homestyle Grilled Beef & Vegetable Flavors 45.0%	03 Garden of Vegan Plant-Based 4.8%

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.
