It contains 21 synthetic additives (so it is not all-natural), it has 6 anti-nutrients including Dried Peas, Dried Potato, and Tapioca Starch (which may interfere with the absorption of essential nutrients), and it has 3 other sketchy ingredients, including Natural Salmon Flavor and Brewers Dried Yeast.
