"Whole dried garbanzo beans."
Used in grain-free foods as a carbohydrate source. Decent fiber content but carries potential DCM association concerns shared with all legumes in grain-free diets. The FDA investigation (opened 2018) into legumes and dilated cardiomyopathy in dogs is not fully resolved. Score: 4/10.
A real but unresolved concern: often an ongoing FDA/AAFCO research question (like the grain-free/DCM investigation), a common allergen, or a vague-but-not-alarming label claim. -2.5 pts deducted.
