It contains 22 synthetic additives (so it is not all-natural), it has 5 anti-nutrients including Sweet Potatoes, Chickpeas, and Peas (which may interfere with the absorption of essential nutrients), and it has 1 other sketchy ingredient, Natural Flavor.

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