"A flavoring extract derived from onion."
Onions — and the whole allium family, including garlic and leeks — contain compounds that damage red blood cells in dogs and cats, causing oxidative damage and potentially hemolytic anemia. Veterinary toxicology generally regards onion as more potent per unit weight than garlic for this exact mechanism. Whatever flavor benefit this provides is not worth introducing a documented toxin into a product a dog eats regularly.
Our most serious tier: a documented carcinogen finding, an outright ban in at least one country or species, or an unspecified source that can legally include 4D (dead, dying, diseased, disabled) animals. -5 pts deducted.
