Chicken is the first ingredient.

Two label points worth knowing. First, the AAFCO statement printed on this page names the Original recipe, not the Chicken recipe you are looking at. We have transcribed it exactly as published and flagged it rather than silently correcting the product name, because a nutritional adequacy statement that names a different recipe is the maker's to fix. Second, despite being sold as a chicken recipe this list includes natural pork flavor in seventh place, plus turkey, so it will not serve as a poultry or pork elimination diet. The fat is the highest of the Orijen wet range at 7 percent as fed, roughly 32 percent on a dry matter basis.
