Good Neutral Watch Flagged
  1. 1
    bison meal
  2. 2
    rice

    Generic rice. Could be white or brown, the label doesn't say. Brown rice would be specified if it were.

  3. 3
    peas

    Cheap protein bulk. Fine in small amounts, but when peas stack with lentils and chickpeas in the top ingredients, it's the pattern the FDA flagged in its heart-disease investigation. See why →

  4. 4
    brown rice

    Whole grain that's easy to digest. Steady carb energy plus a little fiber.

  5. 5
    beef meal

    Beef cooked down to a dry concentrate. More protein per pound than fresh beef.

  6. 6
    pea starch

    Refined starch from peas, mostly carbs after the protein is removed. Counts toward the legume stack the FDA examined.
