The Clean Label Project (CLP) performed a comprehensive analysis of the Cat Food category that included the following 100 products
(Dry/Freeze-Dried and Wet).

CLP’s Clean Sixteen highlights the 16 products with the lowest levels of contaminants.

Please note that the absence of a product from the Clean Sixteen is not necessarily an indicator that its contaminant levels exceed federal or state regulations, or that it would not qualify for CLP certification, only that it did not rank in the top 16.

Products are listed in alphabetical order.
