- 7protein animalfish meal
Concentrated fish protein, usually whitefish, herring, or mackerel. Strong amino acid profile.
- 8fiberdried beet pulp
Soluble fiber from sugar-beet processing. Sometimes treated as a filler, but it's actually one of the better fiber sources in kibble.
- 9brewers dried yeast
Yeast left over from brewing. Rich in B vitamins and amino acids. A traditional and well-tolerated inclusion.
- 10dried apples
Real fruit, some fiber and antioxidants. The amount in kibble is too small to matter much.

Antioxidants, real. But the amount in any kibble is too small to do much. Mostly marketing.

Sodium chloride. Required at small doses for normal physiology. Not a quality concern in standard amounts.

- 21supplementl-lysine
Essential amino acid. Plant-protein-heavy formulas sometimes add it to round out the amino acid profile.

Required nutrient and a natural antioxidant. Often pulls double duty as a preservative.
- 25l-ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate
A stable form of vitamin C used in pet food. Provides antioxidant support and survives processing better than plain ascorbic acid.
