Why create a petfood-score ABCDE if label data are unreliable?
Posted: Tue May 26, 2026 4:27 pm
Hello everyone,
I have a question about the petfood-score ABCDE concept. If the information on pet food labels is often incomplete, unclear, or even unreliable, why do we still base an ABCDE scoring system on these data?
Isn’t there a risk that the score itself will be biased or misleading if the underlying label information is not fully trustworthy? I would be interested to know how this issue is taken into account, and whether there are ways to improve the reliability of the score despite these limitations.
Thank you in advance for your insights and explanations.
