Ingredient Review

Our review of Evanger's Signature Series Slow Cooked Chicken Stew Grain-Free Canned Cat Food begins with a detailed look at the food’s ingredients.

The first ingredient is Chicken. Chicken is meat from the domesticated bird of the same name. In pet food, chicken is used as a primary protein source.

The second ingredient is Turkey Liver. Turkey liver is a general term that can refer to fresh, frozen, cooked, or freeze dried liver from a turkey of any breed. The turkey liver in pet food is more than just a source of protein – it’s also a good source of vitamin A, copper, niacin, zinc, and other essential nutrients.

The third ingredient is Gravy Chicken Broth. Gravy chicken broth is the liquid that remains after chicken has been cooked, perhaps with thickeners added. In pet food, gravy chicken broth isn’t a major source of nutrients however it does add flavor and aroma to appeal to your companion.

The fourth ingredient is Tomato Paste. Tomato paste is a thick, heavily reduced form of tomato – far thicker than tomato sauce. In pet food, tomato paste serves as a source of flavor and natural color while offering essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

The fifth ingredient is Guar Gum. Guar gum is a thickening agent that is derived from the guar bean. In pet food, guar gum helps food keep its shape and it doubles as a source of fiber. Since guar gum can slow digestion, it’s sometimes found in foods designed to help your pet lose weight.

When we analyzed the ingredients in Evanger's Signature Series Slow Cooked Chicken Stew Grain-Free Canned Cat Food, we found that most of the protein is derived from meat based sources.
