Why it matters
Common in grain-free formulas. FDA investigated a possible association between legume-heavy grain-free diets and canine dilated cardiomyopathy; the investigation found no proven causal link and remains unresolved. We disclose this honestly and flag legume-heavy formulas for owner awareness rather than penalizing.
How PawScore treats it
Foods containing Peas are neutral / informational when we grade the label. We don't publish the exact numeric weights so scores stay honest as the rubric evolves.
