"Whole or split dried peas."
The most common legume in grain-free pet food. Peas dilute the meat protein percentage and have been the primary focus of the FDA's grain-free DCM investigation. Not proven dangerous but heavily associated with the concern. Score: 3/10.
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.
