It contains 23 synthetic additives (so it is not all-natural), it has 4 anti-nutrients including Pea Starch, Soybean Germ Meal, and Soybean Meal (which may interfere with the absorption of essential nutrients), and it has 4 other sketchy ingredients, including Poultry And Pork Digest and Garlic Oil C-4096.

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