peanut flour
Peanut flour is peanut butter's leaner ghost — partially defatted powder that flavors treats with less of the fat budget.
What it is
Peanuts pressed of much of their oil and milled — concentrated peanut flavor and protein at a fraction of peanut butter's fat. The treat industry's tool for 'peanut butter flavor' claims that survive a calorie audit.
Why it's in pet food
Flavor economics: dogs love peanut, owners love feeding it, and flour delivers the taste with fewer grams of fat per biscuit. The aflatoxin quality-control sentence from the peanuts page rides along — testing-based sourcing is the invisible work.
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.
Neutral. One label-reading note: 'peanut flour' high on a TREAT label is normal and fine (treats are flavor vehicles); the same logic doesn't excuse a complete FOOD leaning on it for protein — treat rules and diet rules differ, and the engine scores complete foods against the stricter book.
