Purina · Fancy Feast Gourmet · With Ocean Fish & Salmon

Furry PI's verdict

Purina Fancy Feast Gourmet doesn't hold up well under the magnifying glass. Grains lead the ingredient list. To be fair, no artificial colours or preservatives on the ingredient list. 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 ingredient list leads with grains — rice and corn protein meal — rather than animal protein.
• Contains phosphoric acid — 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.

What works

• No artificial colours or preservatives on the ingredient list.
