Answer from this review
This score is editorial — based on labels, recall history, and veterinary guidance, not a lab test. How we evaluated.
Pick texture by job: soft-center snacks, pill wraps, or puree enrichment
Soft chewy cat treats are a texture family. Temptations covers soft-centers; Greenies Pill Pockets cover meds; Churu/Delectables cover puree. Soft-link dental and lickable hubs when those are the real query.
Soft-center snacks, medication wraps, and lickable purees solve different problems. Buying one jar for all three usually disappoints.
