It contains 26 synthetic additives (so it is not all-natural), it has 4 anti-nutrients including Soy Flour, Soy Grits, and Dried Peas (which may interfere with the absorption of essential nutrients), and it has 2 other sketchy ingredients, including Glycerin and Natural Flavors.

Warning Due to this being a grain-free food that contains legumes or potatoes this Purina Beneful recipe may be implicated in the FDA's ongoing investigation into diet-related Dilated Cardiomyopathy (or DCM), a potentially fatal heart condition.
