Meow Mix
Tender Centers Salmon & White Meat Chicken Flavors
Summary
Meow Mix Tender Centers Salmon & White Meat Chicken Flavors is a dry adult cat food that combines animal and plant protein sources to support everyday maintenance needs.
Ground corn is the first ingredient, providing readily available carbohydrates that fuel daily activity and help form the kibble structure.
Chicken by-product meal supplies the primary animal protein, with salmon meal adding additional animal protein, while soybean meal and corn protein meal contribute plant-derived protein to the overall amino acid supply.
At 31% crude protein and 11% crude fat, the macronutrient profile supports lean muscle upkeep with moderate energy delivery for adult cats.
The formula lists 35% carbohydrates and 4% crude fiber, delivering energy along with fiber that can help support regular stools and a sense of fullness between meals.
Beef tallow provides animal fat that enhances palatability and energy density, and mixed tocopherols serve as antioxidants to help protect the fat from oxidation.
Calcium at 1% and phosphorus at 0.8% yield an approximate 1.25:1 Ca:P ratio, supporting normal bone and tooth mineralization in adult cats.
Vitamin E (50) and selenium (0.3 mg/kg) provide antioxidant support that helps protect cells from oxidative stress.
Whole wheat and natural flavor add additional carbohydrate and fiber sources while enhancing taste appeal for picky eaters.
The manufacturer reports metabolizable energy of 3480, indicating a clear calorie density that should be paired with measured portions and ample fresh water access.

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.
