Powdered cellulose

Why it matters

Purified plant fiber, frequently wood pulp derived. Safe, and legitimately used in some weight-management and hairball formulas, but a bulk filler in everyday food.

How PawScore treats it

Foods containing Powdered cellulose are penalized when we grade the label. We don't publish the exact numeric weights so scores stay honest as the rubric evolves.
