dried lactobacillus casei fermentation product

What it is

A dried fermentation of Lactobacillus casei, a lactic-acid organism from the cheese-and-fermented-milk tradition. Human research (often on branded drink strains) gives the species its wellness aura; pet-specific work is sparse.

Why it's in pet food

Rounding out multi-organism 'probiotic blend' declarations — labels often list three or four lactobacilli in a row, borrowing breadth where depth is thin. A blend of species without a CFU line is a longer decoration, not a stronger claim.

How Bowlmark scores it

Scores are deterministic math over the printed label — the rules below apply to every product identically, and nothing estimates or fills in a blank.

Matches the 'lactobacillus' roster term like its siblings: the +4 requires a stated CFU guarantee and lands once — a four-species lactobacillus parade earns the same credit as one, which is the rule quietly declining to reward list-padding. The engine's skepticism and this corpus's are the same skepticism.
