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.
