Furry PI's verdict

Our investigation turned up real problems with Almo Nature Sterilised. The "meat and animal derivatives" block only guarantees chicken. To be fair, as a wet food, it delivers the moisture cats rarely drink on their own. On balance, most cats are better served by stronger options — the app can suggest better-graded foods of the same type.

What's concerning

The "meat and animal derivatives" block names only chicken — what else it contains isn't specified.
Several other ingredients on the label raise quality questions — the full flagged list is in the app.

Quick answers

Is Almo Nature Sterilised grain-free?: Not guaranteed — no named grains appear, but the generic "derivatives of vegetable origin" can include grain proteins (such as wheat gluten).
What are the first ingredients in Almo Nature Sterilised?: The label opens with meat and animal derivatives, chicken and fish and fish derivatives. Ingredients are listed by weight, so the first few carry the most.
Is Almo Nature Sterilised suitable for sterilised or neutered cats?: Yes — it's sold as a sterilised/neutered formula, which usually means the recipe is calorie-adjusted, since sterilised cats put on weight more easily. The label alone doesn't guarantee quality, though — the grade above rates what's actually inside.
Does it contain artificial colours or preservatives?: None appear on the ingredient list.
