Food scores are based on ingredient quality and safety. For more information, view our evaluation criteria.
With a score of 9.9, Halo Freeze-dried is considered a low risk food. There are 4 freeze dried recipes that average 49.3% protein and and very low average carbohydrate at 5.8%. This is Halo’s highest scoring line.
The Turkey recipe loses a point for carb content of 15%. That seems high for a food with no added produce or starch so it’s probably related to the diets fed the poultry in the recipe.
The recipes are meat-based with 4 added minerals and one added vitamin (vitamin C) in each, and contain no produce. The food is complete and balanced according to AAFCO standards. These foods don’t lose any points for light processing. Freeze-drying doesn’t use heat so the nutrients are preserved.
Halo doesn’t state whether fish ingredients (herring oil, whitefish) are wild-caught or farmed. Wild-caught fish is preferable as it’s more nutritious and has better fatty acid balance. The ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids isn’t disclosed. This is a concern because AAFCO allows a very inflammatory level of 30:1
