Why it matters
Palatants made from named animal sources. More transparent than generic animal digest, still a processing marker. Generic unnamed digest is penalized harder under its own entry.
How PawScore treats it
Foods containing Named digests and liver flavors are penalized when we grade the label. We don't publish the exact numeric weights so scores stay honest as the rubric evolves.
