It contains 23 synthetic additives (so it is not all-natural), it has 5 anti-nutrients including Pea Protein, Tapioca Starch, and Freeze Dried Peas (which may interfere with the absorption of essential nutrients), and it has 6 other sketchy ingredients, including Glycerin and Corn Syrup.

Warning Due to this being a grain-free food that contains legumes or potatoes this Authority recipe may be implicated in the FDA's ongoing investigation into diet-related Dilated Cardiomyopathy (or DCM), a potentially fatal heart condition.
