Shreds With Beef In Gravy Wet Cat Food
“With beef” is a modest promise: labeling rules only require 3% of an ingredient named with “with”, and here beef comes fourth, after water, liver and chicken. The 9% protein is about 50% once the 82% water is out, and Purina says these shreds meet AAFCO's profile for adult maintenance.

Nutrition
Labels print these numbers with the water still in, which makes a can look weak next to a bag. The dry-matter column takes the water out, so the two compare fairly.
