Dog food grade
VICTOR Hi-Pro Plus (30/20 Active Sporting, gluten-free)
Victor · made by Mid America Pet Food, LLC
The good-bag-bad-maker case: strong label (named beef meal first, no dyes, tocopherol-preserved, 33% DM protein) but the maker's 2023 Salmonella cluster (human infections, FDA warning letter, all-products recall) floors the recall axis and Mid America has no verifiable WSAVA credibility.
This is the baseline grade for a healthy adult dog. In the app the grade re-computes for your dog: life stage, weight, breed size, and conditions can move it (a food not labeled for a growing puppy is capped, for instance).
