BLUE Wilderness - Rocky Mountain Recipe - Red Meat Recipe
Summary
Blue Buffalo BLUE Wilderness – Rocky Mountain Recipe – Red Meat Recipe is a grain-free, chicken-free dry food for adult cats that emphasizes high animal protein and antioxidant support.
Deboned beef is the first ingredient, delivering animal-based protein and flavor as the primary meat foundation.
The recipe also includes beef meal, fish meal, deboned lamb, and deboned venison to broaden the amino acid profile, while dried egg further boosts complete, highly usable protein.
At 36% crude protein and 16% fat with 3685 kcal/kg, it provides a nutrient-dense profile to help maintain lean muscle and meet adult energy needs when portions are measured appropriately.
Pea protein, peas, tapioca starch, potatoes, and sweet potatoes contribute carbohydrates and fiber, supplying energy and helping stool formation.
Canola oil and flaxseed supply essential fatty acids, and the guaranteed omega-3 (0.5% min) and omega-6 (2.25% min) levels support skin and coat health.
BLUE’s LifeSource Bits—an antioxidant, vitamin, and mineral blend that is cold-formed to preserve heat‑sensitive nutrients—are designed to support immune function, life stage needs, and healthy oxidative balance.
Added taurine (0.15% min) supports heart and eye health, while L-lysine and DL-methionine help round out the amino acid profile.
Chelated minerals (such as zinc, iron, copper, and manganese amino acid chelates) are included to enhance mineral bioavailability compared with inorganic forms.
Dried chicory root provides prebiotic fiber for digestive support, and yucca schidigera extract may help reduce stool odor.

How the score is calculated?
The actual calculation of the score is based on sophisticated and advanced algorithm that takes into account multiple parameters.
To simplify the explanation, the calculation is based on three main criteria:
(1) Amount of protein (more is better)
(2) Amount of carbohydrates (less is better)
(3) Quality and source of ingredients.
Based on that 3 main criteria, 9 score calculation rules are used to compare the different foods.
One major assumption is that the closer an ingredient is to the top of the ingredient list, the greater its relative weight and contribution to the food.
In general, cat food is composed of protein, fats, carbohydrates, fibers, vitamins, and minerals.
Protein is the most important component in a cat's diet, and cats primarily get their protein from animal meat.
Fat is a primary source of energy and essential fatty acids.
Carbohydrates are controversial in a cat's diet, as cats are obligate carnivores and typically consume very few carbohydrates.
Fibers play an important role in digestion and food absorption, and vitamins and minerals are essential for different organism functions.
Dry matter values are used to compare the amount of nutrients in different cat foods. This means that moisture is excluded from the equation to provide a more accurate comparison.
Putting all of these and more into a formula results in a product score.
The maximum score a cat food can receive is 100. Points are added or removed based on the score calculation rules.
