This product contains 'Meat By-Products' — an unspecified ingredient with no named species. Under AAFCO and FDA regulations, this can legally include tissue from any mammal. Unspecified rendered ingredients carry a confirmed risk of containing pentobarbital (euthanasia drug) from rendered euthanized animals. The FDA found pentobarbital in multiple Purina-affiliated brands in past investigations. While Purina disputes this for current products, the use of unspecified 'meat by-products' means there is no way to independently verify the source species.

Friskies Tasty Treasures is a budget cat food that looks like real food on the outside and reads like a chemistry experiment on the inside. Unspecified meat by-products as the primary protein, a confirmed carcinogen (sodium nitrite), artificial flavors, multiple starch fillers, and cheap plant proteins padding the nutrition numbers. Nestlé Purina has the resources to make vastly better food than this — they choose not to because this formula costs pennies to produce and sells millions of units.

This is a bottom-tier cat food from one of the largest pet food companies on Earth. Nestlé Purina employs board-certified veterinary nutritionists and has billions in revenue — and yet Friskies Tasty Treasures contains unspecified meat by-products with 4D animal risk, sodium nitrite (a confirmed carcinogen that forms nitrosamines in your cat's stomach), artificial flavors, three different starch fillers, and synthetic Vitamin K3 banned in human supplements. The protein is padded with wheat gluten, soy flour, and casein so the guaranteed analysis looks passable, but an obligate carnivore is getting more plant protein than meat protein from this can. The word 'Treasures' in the name is doing very heavy lifting. This food earns an F grade. There are better wet cat foods available at every price point.
