Furry PI's verdict

Open Farm Pate doesn't hold up well under the magnifying glass. It contains tapioca. To be fair, g.a.p. step 2 chicken 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 tapioca, a lower-quality ingredient.
A modest share of calories comes from protein.

What works

G.a.p. step 2 chicken leads the ingredient list — the right start for an obligate carnivore.
As a wet food, it delivers the moisture cats rarely drink on their own.
Carbohydrate load stays close to what a cat would eat in nature.

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.
