Applaws cat food: ingredient review
Record review date: 12 September 2026. Check the current pack and linked evidence. Tell us if this is out of date.
Applaws has different feeding roles across its ranges. Some wet recipes are complementary, while dry and Vitality recipes may be complete. Check the exact product and market: neither a short ingredient list nor the brand name establishes a suitable daily diet. Product notes below identify the source and any pack-matching gap. Across the 6 Applaws products we have reviewed, these notes cover 6 Applaws products. Check the exact recipe, current ingredients and complete or complementary designation; ingredient ratings alone cannot establish a suitable daily diet.
What we found
There are 6 product records here; 4 have a sourced feeding role. Read the source scope and market before applying it to the pack you have. An unconfirmed role is a gap in our evidence, not proof that a food is unsuitable.
Ingredient order, grain-free wording and price do not by themselves establish nutritional quality. Check completeness, life stage, formulation expertise and quality controls. WSAVA explains the questions to ask.

Related 70g pouch 8031ML-A found; the can and wild-salmon wording in this record were not matched to an exact current manufacturer listing.
The manufacturer listing found is a 70g Chicken Breast with Salmon in Broth pouch described as complementary adult cat food. It lists chicken, broth, salmon and rice. That does not confirm the can or wild-salmon description in this record, or its previous protein percentages. The exact pack needs checking before assigning a feeding role. A short ingredient list is not evidence of a complete diet or a best-in-market product.
What would confirm this: Please confirm the exact can name, size, ingredients and complete or complementary statement on the current pack.

Current UK 2kg adult chicken dry recipe. Compare with the actual Singapore pack before using this recipe information.
Applaws labels its current UK adult chicken dry recipe complete and balanced. The linked formulation lists chicken at 49.5%, including meal and freshly prepared chicken, rather than supporting the previous claim of 80% animal content for this record. Compare the actual pack, intended life stage and formulation. Grain-free wording is not proof that it is better for every cat or suitable for an allergy.

Historical recall, updated 24 June 2021. The archived FSA text is retrievable through search but its original page currently fails to load. Not a current-stock clearance.
The FSA’s 24 June 2021 update covered the listed Applaws dry-cat-food varieties bearing site code GB218E5009, across all best-before dates. The adult chicken entry included 400g, 2kg and 7.5kg packs. Its August 2021 investigation update did not establish a causal link to pancytopenia, but still said not to feed recalled food. This historical notice neither proves that today’s Singapore stock is recalled nor clears an old affected pack. Confirm the pack and code with the supplier if uncertain.
What would confirm this: Historical source page currently unavailable at its original address; the dated FSA text was checked through its indexed archive. Current Singapore pack identity remains unconfirmed.

Use alongside an appropriate complete diet. This product should not replace the main diet.

Freeze Dried Chicken Breast Cat Treats, 10g, code 5102ML-A. Confirm the local pack.
The manufacturer describes the linked freeze-dried chicken breast product as a complementary food for adult cats. Use it as a treat alongside a suitable complete diet and account for extras in the feeding plan. A single ingredient does not remove individual allergy, texture or portion considerations. Check that the local product matches this 10g listing.

70g can, product code 1003CE-A. Match the current Singapore pack; other sizes or Vitality recipes can differ.
The current UK 70g can listing describes this as complementary food for adult cats. It lists tuna fillet, fish broth and rice, so the earlier claim of broth and tuna alone did not match that listing. Complementary food should not replace a complete diet. Check the exact Singapore pack and recipe; the separate Vitality line has different formulations and feeding designations.

Applaws · United States · Checked 12 September 2026
Vitality Tuna Fillet in Broth 2.47oz, code 1903US-AC. US formulation; Singapore stock and pack match not confirmed.
The US manufacturer page describes Vitality Tuna Fillet in Broth as complete and balanced for adult cats, with added vitamins and minerals. This is not the same as the limited-ingredient complementary tuna product. The longer ingredient list includes nutrients needed by the formulation; describing it as having no additives was misleading. Match the exact imported pack and consult your vet for individual dietary needs.
