Ingredient Review
Our review of Applaws Tuna Fillet with Seaweed Canned Cat Food begins with a detailed look at the food’s ingredients.
The first ingredient is Tuna Fillet. Tuna fillet is meat from any fish in the tuna family. In pet food, tuna fillet can be an excellent source of protein, and it is a good source of Omega-3 fatty acids.
The second ingredient is Fish Broth. Fish broth is a byproduct of the seafood cooking process, and can contain fish of any kind. In pet food, fish broth adds flavor and aroma, along with some nutrients.
The third ingredient is Seaweed. Seaweed, or macroalgae, refers to several species of macroscopic, multicellular, marine algae. The term includes some types of Rhodophyta, Phaeophyta and Chlorophyta macroalgae. Seaweed species such as kelps provide essential nursery habitat for fisheries and other marine species and thus protect food sources; other species, such as planktonic algae, play a vital role in capturing carbon, producing up to 90% of Earth's oxygen.
The fourth ingredient is Rice. Rice is a gluten-free cereal grain. In pet food, rice is a source of easily digestible carbohydrates.
When we analyzed the ingredients in Applaws Tuna Fillet with Seaweed Canned Cat Food, we found that most of the protein is derived from fish based sources.
