guinea fowl meal
Guinea fowl meal is poultry novelty the roster now knows by name — a named bird with its bonus seat, useful where chicken is the problem.
What it is
Rendered, dried guinea fowl — a poultry species distinct from chicken, though close enough taxonomically that cross-reactivity in chicken-allergic pets is a live question elimination planning should test carefully rather than assume away.
Why it's in pet food
Poultry-adjacent novelty and French-country branding. For true chicken allergy, a further species (rabbit, kangaroo) is the safer anchor; guinea fowl suits the milder cases and the marketing.
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.
The roster debt is paid: guinea fowl was seated in the 2026-08 matcher update, so its meal earns the named-meal bonus — +12 first, +8 top-3 — exactly like its boar shelf-mate. Note what it still ISN'T: 'guinea fowl meal' names a species, so it draws none of the unnamed-poultry deduction that generic 'poultry meal' takes. Credit from one direction, no penalty from the other — consistency, finally the right kind.
