INABA Kyo wa Kodawari Gohan — Frozen Beef Balls with Chicken, 150 g

INABA Kyo wa Kodawari Gohan — Frozen Beef Balls with Chicken, 150 g is a frozen meatball food made in Japan. The official purpose is complete food for adult dogs (成犬用総合栄養食). Form: meatballs. Net content: 150 g in one pouch. JAN: 4901133485527. Official code: DF-07. That weight describes one pouch, not a multi-pouch bundle.

Despite the beef-ball name, chicken breast is first and beef is second. This is not a beef-only animal-ingredient recipe: pork fat and egg powders are also listed. The cheese version is a separate formula; cheese is not listed for this product. Read the entire statement rather than treating the featured flavour as an ingredient exclusion.

The manufacturer’s individual page and matching Rakuten seller were checked on 17 September 2026. Adult purpose is not expanded into a puppy or all-life-stage declaration. Complete food, complementary food and snacks are different uses despite similar package shapes. A common maker, flavour or capacity does not justify copying another product’s analysis or age declaration.

A Japanese manufacturer name is separate from manufacturing country. This particular product is made in Japan and receives the Japan-made flag. That declaration does not establish the origin of every ingredient. Match JAN, product code and capacity when replacing a product; if the received package has changed, give the current package and updated official directions priority. The confirmation date identifies the statements reviewed, rather than guaranteeing that a marketplace page will never change.

English reading aid, preserving the complete official statement’s order and groups: chicken (breast), beef, breadcrumbs, pork fat, soybean oil, starch, egg-yolk powder, egg-white powder, yeast extract, yeast, heat-killed lactic acid bacteria, thickener/stabiliser (modified starch), minerals (Ca, Mg, P, Fe), seasonings (organic acids etc.), vitamins (A, D3, E, B1, B2, B12, folic acid), green tea extract.

The original Japanese statement is retained in full on this page, including minerals, vitamins, thickeners and pigments. Vitamin D3 is not mistranscribed as D1. Chicken breast is first, supporting both the chicken-first and contains-chicken flags. No vegetable flag is assigned; soybean oil still supports legumes. Breadcrumbs support grains, and egg-yolk and egg-white powders support egg. Chicken remains first, so grain-first is unchecked. Soybean oil is reflected in legumes. Pork fat supports the pork ingredient flag. Beef supports the beef ingredient flag.

The human-grade flag records the actual package and listing claim about human-standard food ingredients; it is not a declaration that this is food sold for human consumption or safe for every dog. The seller’s digestive-maintenance description does not establish a disease-treatment effect or a live bacterial count.

An unchecked category does not certify total absence, freedom from manufacturing cross-contact or suitability for an ingredient-avoidance diet. Breadcrumbs and egg powders matter when checking an avoidance requirement; a vegetable or beef name does not remove them. Grain-free and additive-free flags are not invented from an incomplete implication. Listed heat-killed bacteria are not described as live organisms.

The reviewed individual statement does not provide inclusion percentages, each vitamin’s addition amount, calcium concentration or glucosamine dose. Ingredient names do not establish numerical nutrient guarantees or treatment outcomes. Where strict avoidance is required, check the current package and ask the manufacturer about unclear ingredients and production conditions. The checklist organises documented statements for browsing and comparison; it does not approve this recipe for a specific dog.

Protein at least 13.0%, fat at least 8.0%, crude fibre no more than 0.5%, ash no more than 2.5%, moisture no more than 67.0%. Protein and fat are minimum guarantees; fibre, ash and moisture are maximum guarantees. They are not exact average measured contents. A lower-fat product name does not turn a guaranteed fat minimum into a fat ceiling or establish suitability for a prescribed fat restriction.

The original energy declaration is approximately 250 kcal per 150 g pouch. This site converts 250 ÷ 150 × 100 to approximately 166.7 kcal/100 g for comparison. This is a site calculation, not a directly published manufacturer value per 100 g. Approximate input remains approximate after conversion. One 150 g pouch is distinct from 100 g of food and from the total of a multi-item bundle.

The exact matched product’s back photograph was individually read. The full-day guide when feeding this food alone is:

3kg: 130g per day (approximately 20 balls)
5kg: 190g per day (approximately 29 balls)
8kg: 270g per day (approximately 42 balls)
10kg: 320g per day (approximately 49 balls)

Split that daily amount into two meals according to the label. The gram amounts are daily totals, not each meal. Ball counts are approximate and do not establish an exact individual ball weight. For mixed feeding, this label says to reduce dry food by approximately 59 g per 100 g of this product. This is the photographed product’s own direction, not a universal substitution equation for other foods or dry recipes with different energy densities.

The percentages include moisture. Dry and wet foods cannot be ranked by protein percentage as though they contain identical water amounts. A maximum moisture guarantee is not an exact measured moisture content used to invent precise dry-matter results. Numerical sodium and phosphorus guarantees are absent from the reviewed official statement and are not supplied here. Listing mineral ingredients does not establish those numerical guarantees. If a veterinarian has prescribed dietary restrictions, show the full statement and guarantee conditions to them before deciding compatibility.

The matched listing is for one 150 g pouch. Before ordering, check the selected count, current price, stock, shipping and remaining best-before period. Each purchase button uses an individually issued, logged-in Rakuten Affiliate product URL for that exact seller. This page contains affiliate advertising; the site may receive a commission from a purchase. The seller handles orders, payment, delivery and returns. Check frozen-delivery charges and eligible delivery regions; combining with ambient goods is not assumed. Listing a Japanese product does not establish overseas delivery or import permission in another country.

The actual matching listing supplied the product photographs. Each published image was visually checked to exclude store-name and shop-logo overlays. The gallery retains the exact back photograph used to read the feeding and thawing directions. The shared gallery credits Rakuten Ichiba. Package artwork supports identification; it cannot replace current label text or establish a recipe from an outdated design.

FROZEN STORAGE REQUIRED: both listing and label specify freezing at −18°C or below. This is not an ambient-storage pouch. The photographed natural-thawing direction is to leave the still-frozen product in the refrigerator overnight; it does not say to leave it at room temperature overnight. For microwave thawing, transfer frozen food to a plate, cover with wrap and place in the microwave’s centre. Do not read that as heating the original pouch.

The individually checked label guide is: 5 balls — approximately 40 seconds at 500 W or 30 seconds at 600 W; 10 balls — approximately 1 minute 10 seconds at 500 W or 1 minute at 600 W; 20 balls — approximately 2 minutes at 500 W or 1 minute 50 seconds at 600 W. These are guide times that vary with equipment and quantity. Cool thoroughly after heating before offering the food. Refrigerate thawed leftovers in another container and use promptly. The label warns that refreezing a thawed product can change its quality.

Kibble size does not apply. Frozen meatballs and jelly pouches do not receive either small-kibble or medium/large-kibble flags. Form alone does not guarantee chewing or swallowing suitability. The official unopened shelf life is one year; after-opening or after-thawing handling is a separate question. Recheck the received name, capacity, JAN, life stage, full ingredients and guarantee conditions. Ask the manufacturer if the delivered declaration has changed. This is dated product information, not an individual diagnosis or feeding prescription; retain the package and lot details for clarification.
