Everything for the cat: Stiftung Warentest tests wet food varieties

The products tested included well-known brands such as Whiskas and Miamor, as well as varieties from Lidl, Aldi and Dm. Surprisingly, how well a food performed was not a question of price.

The products tested are all sold as complete foods. The overall rating was based on various categories: Nutritional quality was particularly decisive, accounting for 60 per cent of the overall score and assessing the nutrient mix. In addition to many proteins, but also fats and vitamins, minerals are particularly important: calcium, magnesium, zinc and selenium, for example.

Test winner

Of the seven products, all of which scored "very good", "Whiskas with poultry in sauce" was the front-runner: it was the only wet food to be awarded a 1.2. The nutritional content was also rated 1.0. The price of 1.16 euros for 400 grams is relatively low.

Other positive test results

The own brands of many discounters are also tasty: Gut & Günstig (Edeka), Coshida (Lidl), ZooRoyal (Rewe) and Lucky Cat (Penny) all achieved scores of 1.3 and 1.4, with Lidl's "Coshida Schlemmerhappen mit Rind & Leber in Sauce" being the price winner of the test. A can of 415 grams costs around 55 cents.

Purina One "Adult with chicken and green beans" (1.5), also received positive ratings.Animonda Carny "Adult Chicken + Salmon" (1.6), Sheba "Sauce Spéciale with turkey morsels in a light-coloured sauce" (1.8) and Animonda vom Feinsten "Adult with turkey and rabbit" (2.0).

"Sufficient" or "Poor"
