Fromm Pâté is a six-recipe wet food line. Every recipe puts a named meat, a broth and a liver near the top of the ingredient list, then adds potatoes or sweet potatoes plus peas or lentils. All six are 78% moisture as fed. Protein runs from 7.5% in Lamb & Sweet Potato to 10% in Chicken & Sweet Potato.
Across the line, the ingredient lists include chicken, duck, egg, lamb, beef, pork and salmon. Four recipes are grain free, while Beef & Barley and Lamb use pearled barley. All six contain peas or lentils and all six include potato or sweet potato. Fat ranges from 3% in Beef & Barley to 7% in Lamb & Sweet Potato, and energy from 956 to 1066 kcal per kg.
The line averages 8.8% protein, a little above the 8.4% average across the 773 wet foods in our catalog. Protein stays in a narrow band, but fat varies more, so the lamb recipes are richer than Beef & Barley. There is no legume-free option for owners who avoid peas and lentils, and we do not have estimated starch figures for this line.
