Ingredients (first six, verbatim and in label order, per manufacturer product page): Humanely Raised Beef, Non-GMO sweet potato, Non-GMO pumpkin, Flaxseed, Coconut Oil, Non-GMO carrots. Open Farm publishes these inline and keeps the complete statement behind a View Complete Ingredients expander on the same page; check the bag for the official ingredient statement. The manufacturer sells this recipe as Grass-Fed Beef Grain-Free Dog Kibble.

AAFCO: Open Farm Grass-Fed Beef Recipe is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for All Life Stages except for growth of large size dogs (70 lb. or more as an adult) (per manufacturer).
Beef is the only animal protein in the first six ingredients, which puts this alongside the venison and the wild-caught salmon as one of Open Farm's genuinely single protein kibbles, and unlike the lamb and chicken grain free recipes there is no whitefish meal sitting third. Two label details are worth flagging rather than smoothing over. First, the recipe is sold as Grass-Fed Beef but the ingredient panel names the beef as Humanely Raised Beef, so the grass-fed claim lives in the product name and the marketing copy rather than in the ingredient statement itself. Second, this is a grain free recipe with no published taurine guarantee, where the venison and the RawMix grain free recipes both guarantee 0.2 percent. Taurine is not an AAFCO essential nutrient for dogs, so its absence from a label is lawful and common, but legume and potato forward grain free diets are the category the FDA examined in its investigation into diet associated canine dilated cardiomyopathy, a review that reached no causal finding, and a published taurine figure is one of the things people look for as a result. Worth a question to your vet if that history applies to your dog.

Questions about Open Farm Grain-Free Grass-Fed Beef (All Life Stages, Dry)
Is it a single protein food?
In its first six ingredients, yes. Beef is the only animal ingredient listed there, with no whitefish meal in the top of the panel as there is in Open Farm's grain free lamb and chicken recipes.
What are the first ingredients?
As listed on the Open Farm product page, the first ingredients are Humanely Raised Beef, Non-GMO sweet potato, Non-GMO pumpkin, flaxseed, coconut oil and Non-GMO carrots.
Does the ingredient panel say grass-fed?
No. The recipe is sold as Grass-Fed Beef, but the ingredient statement names it as Humanely Raised Beef. The grass-fed claim appears in the product name and marketing copy rather than in the panel.
Does it guarantee taurine?
Not on the product page. Open Farm's venison and RawMix grain free recipes both publish a 0.2% taurine minimum; this one publishes none. Taurine is not an AAFCO essential nutrient for dogs, so that is lawful, but it is a figure many owners of grain free fed dogs look for.
How much protein and fat does it have?
Open Farm publishes crude protein 30% and crude fat 14% as-fed minimums, with 3625 kcal ME/kg or 430 kcal ME per cup.
