"A soluble fiber thickener extracted from guar bean seeds."
Extracting the fiber-rich portion of the guar bean produces a highly effective natural thickener, used mainly to give wet food and treats a better texture. It also functions as a genuine soluble fiber that can support gut health, so unlike most gums used purely for texture, this one pulls some real nutritional weight. Generally well-tolerated in the amounts used. Score: 6/10.
A minor caveat applies — usually a processing step (e.g. rendering into a meal), a moderate allergen history, or a named-but-fattier source — but nothing on our risk watchlist. -1 pt deducted.
