This value violates the relevant regulations.
Test details
Nutrient test results
We compared the registered nutrient amounts (as labeled by the manufacturer) with the amounts actually detected. Items outside the standard are highlighted.
| Nutrient | Registered value | Actual detected | Judgment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crude protein | 26.0% min | 26.73% | Within range |
| Crude fat | 13.0% min | 8.51% | !Under registered amount |
| Crude fiber | 5.0% max | 3.74% | Within range |
| Crude ash | 10.0% max | 6.36% | Within range |
| Moisture | 10.0% max | 8.72% | Within range |
| Calcium | 0.9% min | 1.22% | Within range |
| Phosphorus | 0.7% min | 0.97% | Within range |
| Calcium-to-phosphorus ratio | - | 1.26:1 | Within range |
[Reasons for the Component Deviation and the Importer's Position]
- The product has a valid certificate: The brand holds a feed-assay certificate from a test of the same product, conducted by an accredited institution in April.
- Possible differences depending on test method: For crude fat, the acid-hydrolysis method must be used to obtain an accurate figure; with the E.E. (ether extraction) method, results can come out lower than the actual value. We would like to ask whether the CVSC test result was measured using the acid-hydrolysis method.

Veterinary view on analysis method and deviation
We acknowledge the technical variable that a certain level of measurement difference can arise depending on the crude-fat analysis method. However, for this product, the gap between the registered component amount (≥ 13.0%) and the actual detected amount (8.51%) is too large to be regarded as simple error. -
Limits in securing a cross-verification sample due to the product being discontinued
CVSC actively accepted the brand's view and attempted to conduct a cross re-test of a product from the same manufacturing date using the same test method the brand proposed; however, because the importer had marked the product as sold out, we could not secure a sample under identical conditions and were unable to proceed with additional verification. We hope careful monitoring will continue if the product is re-distributed in the future.
