I’m assuming they mean 96% turkey and liver on a dry matter basis. If the food is 70% moisture on a wet matter basis then it is only 1.65 oz on a dry matter basis (yes, you pay mostly for water with canned food). I’m assuming that 96% of this 1.65 oz is turkey and liver and that there is a very small amount of fenugreek in it, much less than 1oz (not sure where you got that number from). The turkey flavor is also almost 0% carbs so the fenugreek amount has to be small.Ok, I did more fenugreek info gathering.
Each can of Rawz Turkey and Turkey Liver cat food is 5.5 oz and has roughly 200 cals. (per manufacturer's website) RAWZ | Turkey & Turkey Liver Pâté
They claim each 5.5 oz can has 96% Turkey and Turkey Liver (per the can label) while the entire ingredient list they provide is as follows - Turkey, Turkey Liver, Turkey Broth, Potassium Chloride, Fenugreek Seeds, Natural Flavor, Choline Chloride, Salt, Vegetable Broth, Dandelion Greens, Taurine, Zinc Proteinate, Iron Proteinate, Niacin Supplement, Vitamin E Supplement, Copper Proteinate, Sodium Selenite, Thiamine Mononitrate, Manganese Proteinate, Vitamin A Supplement, Calcium Pantothenate, Riboflavin Supplement, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Biotin, Vitamin D3 Supplement, Vitamin B12 Supplement, Ethylenediamine Dihydroiodide, Folic Acid.
From many websites that calculate cal info of foods, these ingredients:
1 oz of turkey liver is roughly 66 cals
1 oz of turkey is roughly 34 cals
1 oz of fenugreek seeds is roughly 92 cals (wow!)
Someone help me out here, because I really suck at math, but based on the ingredient list, Turkey is the main ingredient followed by Turkey liver, so those two should be the main source of cals, right?
96% of 5.5 oz is 5.28 oz. So, can I conclude there is 5.28 oz of Turkey and Turkey Liver in a 5.5 oz can with the rest of the ingredients totaling .28 oz?
Edit: I was thinking on it a bit more and now I’m wondering if what they mean is that 96% of the turkey and it’s liver is used? Honestly it could mean anything... there is no regulation around pet food companies using this language.
