Furry PI's verdict

The label tells a weaker story than the front of the pack suggests for Acana Indoor Entree. It contains menadione sodium bisulfite complex. To be fair, whole herring leads the ingredient list — the right start for an obligate carnivore. On balance, most cats are better served by stronger options — the app can suggest better-graded foods of the same type.

What's concerning

Contains menadione sodium bisulfite complex — an ingredient our database flags as genuinely problematic for cats.
A high carbohydrate load for an obligate carnivore — a cat's natural prey is almost carb-free.
A modest share of calories comes from protein.

What works

Whole herring leads the ingredient list — the right start for an obligate carnivore.
Includes genuinely beneficial ingredients such as whole herring and chicken fat.

The grade is only the cover of the case file. The free app shows the full 100-point breakdown, every flagged ingredient, and better-graded alternatives for your cat.
