Organomics Wet Review

OrgaNOMics wet cat food receives the Cat Food Advisor rating, 5 stars

The OrgaNOMics’ wet range lists animal protein in the first and second ingredients of most of the recipes.  Plant based proteins are included, so this needs to be considered when evaluating the protein sources.  Overall, this food offers a very good diet option.

Each recipe includes its AAFCO nutrient profile: Growth (kitten), Maintenance (adult), All Life Stages, Supplemental or Unspecified.

The OrgaNOMics product line includes five wet cat foods.

Recipe and Label Analysis

OrgaNOMics Beef and Pork Dinner for Cats recipe was selected to represent the other products in the line for a detailed recipe and nutrient analysis.

Label and nutrient data below are calculated using dry matter basis.

Ingredients Analysis

The first and second ingredients are beef and pork.  Both meats are defined as “the clean flesh derived from slaughtered cattle or pork” and includes skeletal muscle or the muscle tissues of the tongue, diaphragm, heart or esophagus.  ¹

They are also naturally rich in all 11 essential amino acids required by a cat to sustain life.

The third ingredient is water which adds nothing but moisture to this food.  Water is a routine finding in most wet cat foods..

The fourth ingredient is organic carrots.  Carrots are rich in beta-carotene, minerals and dietary fiber.

The fifth ingredient is organic peas.  Peas are a quality source of carbohydrates.  And like all legumes, they’re rich in natural fiber.

However, peas contain about 25% protein, a factor that must be considered when judging the meat content of this cat food.

The sixth ingredient is organic sweet potatoes.  Sweet potatoes are a gluten-free source of complex carbohydrates in cat food.  They are naturally rich in dietary fiber and beta carotene.

The seventh ingredient is liver.  Normally, liver can be considered a quality component.  However, in this case, the source of the liver is not identified. For this reason, it’s impossible to judge the quality of this item.

The eighth ingredient is organic guar gum, a gelling or thickening agent found in many wet pet foods.  Refined from dehusked guar beans, guar gum can add a notable amount of dietary fiber to any product.

From here the list goes on to include a number of other items.  But to be realistic, ingredients located this far down the list (other than nutritional supplements) are not likely to affect the overall rating of the product.

However, this food contains chelated minerals, minerals that have been chemically attached to protein. This makes them easier to absorb. Chelated minerals are usually found in better cat foods.

Nutrient Analysis

Based on its ingredients alone, the OrgaNOMics Beef and Pork Dinner for Cats recipe looks like an above-average wet product.

The dashboard displays a dry matter protein reading of 50%, a fat level of 27.3% and an estimated carbohydrate level of 14.7%.

As a group, the brand features an above-average protein content of 48.2% and an above-average fat level of 27.3%. Together these figures suggest a carbohydrate content of 16.5% for the overall product line, alongside a fat to protein ratio of 57%.

This means this OrgaNOMics range contains higher than average protein, lower than average carbohydrate and higher than average fat, when compared to typical wet cat food.
