Friskies Tasty Treasures is a textbook example of a budget cat food that prioritizes cost-cutting over feline health. The primary protein is unspecified 'Meat By-Products' — literally mystery animal scraps with pentobarbital contamination risk. The protein numbers are inflated by wheat gluten, soy flour, and casein instead of actual meat. The inclusion of sodium nitrite — a confirmed carcinogen — in a heat-processed food is indefensible. Menadione (synthetic Vitamin K3) is banned in human supplements for good reason. Purina/Nestlé is one of the largest pet food companies on earth with billions in revenue, and this is what they choose to put in a can.

Randall™ says: This is a 39/100 — an F grade, and it earned every bit of that failure. Nestlé Purina makes billions of dollars in profit annually. They employ board-certified veterinary nutritionists. They have the resources to make a decent product. Instead, they chose to fill this can with unspecified meat by-products (the rendering industry's mystery bin), inflate the protein with wheat gluten and soy flour, thicken it with modified corn starch, and then add sodium nitrite — a known carcinogen that forms cancer-causing nitrosamines during heat processing — all to make a cheap can of cat food look and taste acceptable. The 'prime filets' name is marketing theater. There is nothing prime about unspecified animal scraps padded with soy and wheat. Cats are obligate carnivores. They deserve named animal proteins, not a chemistry experiment in a can. There are better wet cat foods available at comparable price points. This one is not recommended.
