Fancy Feast Classic Pate Typical Nutrient Composition

[Corey & Kitty]

Hi everyone,

Dr. Pierson's food chart is great, but the information is a bit outdated seeing that it was compiled around five years ago.

I personally feed my Kitty Fancy Feast Classic Pate and I see many members of this forum do as well.

I recently contacted Purina regarding the typical nutrient analysis of the classic pate varieties. At first they were not helpful, giving me a generic response to contact my vet regarding my cat's nutrition, but I persisted and told them that my vet doesn't have time to analyze the nutrient contents of cat foods.

Much to my surprise, after a few days I received an email containing three PDF files, one for seafood varieties, one for beef varieties, and one for chicken varieties. Each PDF contains two pages; the first page contains as fed values and the second page contains dry matter values. The files are dated from October of 2021, so the information is much more recent.

I want to share this information with everyone so I attached the files to this post and also uploaded them to my Google Drive here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ugQbi8V7mIsCAoL4OtDScmx1MEc0n6Jr

Thanks for these. I’ll tag @Wendy&Neko as she may like to put them somewhere else as updated information is great to have.

There may be a difference in the way the carb percent is calculated that yields different numbers. It's also possible that FF has changed it's formulation.

Dr. Lisa does not keep the list completely up to date. It is an incredible amount of work to get the information alone. As you encountered, the manufacturers do not routinely make information public. Only a few companies have complete, as fed information on their website. In most cases you have to call and badger the company. Multiply this by all of the companies and varieties of food that are on Dr. Lisa's list.

There may be a means of contacting her and passing the information you received along. She does periodically update the list.

So I want to share some more info. I have been going back and forth with Mars Petcare USA about their Sheba cat food, since it is what I'm currently feeding Kitty, trying to get current TNA information from them. They have not been as easy to deal with as Purina was. Mars would not give me entire charts like Purina did as they said it would be revealing their proprietary secret recipes. However, they said they would provide me with certain nutrient information so I asked for protein, fat, carbohydrate, and phosphorus info. They provided me with this information, which they call "expected analysis", copied and pasted from the email they sent me:

Sheba Premium Pate:
The SHEBA PERFECT PORTIONS™ Pate in Natural Juices Delicate Salmon Entrée has an expected analysis of approximately 46.03% Protein, 34.59% Fat, 6.66% Carbohydrate, and 2.03% Phosphorus on a dry matter basis.

The SHEBA ERFECT PORTIONS™ Pate in Natural Juices Gourmet Chicken & Tuna Entrée has an expected analysis of approximately 46.48% Protein, 39.40% Fat, 4.27% Carbohydrate, and 1.41% Phosphorus on a dry matter basis.

The SHEBA PERFECT PORTIONS™ Pate in Natural Juices Roasted Chicken & Liver Entrée has an expected analysis of approximately 46.48% Protein, 39.40% Fat, 4.27% Carbohydrate, and 1.41% Phosphorus on a dry matter basis.
