ZIWI
Peak Steam & Dried - Cage-free Chicken with Whole Mackerel Recipe
Summary
ZIWI Peak Steam & Dried – Cage-free Chicken with Whole Mackerel Recipe is a complete and balanced dry food for kittens through seniors, designed as a convenient raw-style meal with a light, crunchy texture.
Chicken is the first ingredient and primary protein, with nutrient-dense organs and ground bone supplying natural sources of vitamins, minerals, and connective-tissue nutrients.
Whole mackerel provides a second animal protein and a concentrated source of omega-3 fatty acids to support skin comfort and coat shine.
The Z‑MicroSteam process gently micro‑steams raw ingredients before air‑drying, helping retain natural flavor and nutrients while making the bites easy to chew and serve.
With 38% crude protein and 28% fat, plus an energy density of 4500 kcal ME/kg (383 kcal per cup), the recipe is rich and concentrated, so smaller portions deliver substantial nutrition.
A minimum of 0.5% omega‑3 fatty acids and added chicken fat supply essential fatty acids that nourish the skin barrier and promote a glossy coat.
Taurine (min 0.1%) supports heart and eye function, and joint-health nutrients are provided through naturally occurring chondroitin (min 2500 mg/kg) and glucosamine (min 1000 mg/kg) from bone and cartilage.
Dried egg white adds highly digestible albumen protein to round out the amino acid profile for lean muscle maintenance.
Small amounts of legumes, quinoa, and apple pomace contribute carbohydrates and fermentable fiber for satiety and stool quality, while chelated trace minerals and mixed tocopherols support nutrient absorption and help protect fats from oxidation.

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.
