Ingredient Wiki
Water
Plain water, used to make the recipe mixable and, in wet food, to fill the can.
Pea Starch
The starch fraction separated out from peas after the protein and fiber are removed.
Hydrolyzed Chicken Liver
Chicken liver broken down into smaller protein fragments by enzyme treatment.
Hydrolyzed Soy Protein Isolate
Powdered Cellulose
Purified plant fiber, most often derived from wood pulp, used as an insoluble fiber source.
What’s in the can
- First ingredient
- Water, there for moisture. Almost every wet food opens with water or broth; what follows it is the recipe.
- First meat
- hydrolyzed chicken liver, third on the list.
- Thickeners and binders
- pea starch, guar gum, carrageenan and xanthan 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
- menadione sodium bisulfite complex (Vitamin K). Why we flag these.

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.
