Why it matters
Proteins broken into fragments too small to trigger many allergic responses. A legitimate technology in hypoallergenic diets; neutral to positive in that context.
How PawScore treats it
Foods containing Hydrolyzed proteins are neutral / informational when we grade the label. We don't publish the exact numeric weights so scores stay honest as the rubric evolves.
