potato fiber
Potato fiber is the peel-and-pulp fraction doing quiet stool work — respectable alone, part of the splitting pattern in a crowd.
Also appears on labels as: potato fibre
What it is
The fiber left from potato starch and protein extraction: cell walls, some resistant starch, mostly insoluble bulk. A functional fiber in the beet-pulp and tomato-pomace tradition, without their name recognition.
Why it's in pet food
Stool quality and formulation glue — fiber firms output and slows the starch rush. As a single sensible inclusion it's unremarkable; as the third potato word in a top-heavy list it's part of the pattern the splitting rule exists to catch.
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.
A potato-worded splitting-base entry (≥3 in the top 8 → one −12) with no other engine presence: no bonus, no flag. Note the fiber itself isn't suspect — the deduction targets the disclosure pattern of one ingredient wearing three names, not any single fraction's merit.
