About this product
BLUE Life Protection Formula Adult Chicken & Brown Rice Recipe is a dry food for adult dogs from Blue Buffalo, sold in a 30 lb bag under UPC 859610000111 and item number 800154.[1] The bag names deboned chicken as its first ingredient, followed by chicken meal and brown rice, and carries the brand's LifeSource Bits, a cold-formed blend of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals.[2][3] Its guaranteed analysis gives at least 24 % crude protein and 14 % crude fat, with at most 5 % crude fiber and 10 % moisture, and the label states that the recipe is formulated to meet the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for maintenance.[2] Amazon.com names Blue Buffalo Company, Ltd as the manufacturer.[1]
Blue Buffalo was founded in 2002 and was acquired by General Mills in 2018; Life Protection Formula is one of the lines it sells under the BLUE brand.[4] The bag photographed in September 2022 prints a longer ingredient list than the one Amazon.com shows for the same UPC, which adds L-threonine and omits pea starch, garlic and five fermentation products; both give the same guaranteed analysis.[2][1] The same recipe is sold in a 15 lb bag under UPC 859610000098.[5]

- Label photographs: 0 / 2 · Researched contexts with an assigned photograph
- Bag photographed for Open Pet Food Facts, September 2022: nutrient evidence: 8 / 8 · Recorded nutrient rows linked to a source; not the number of nutrients that ought to exist
- ingredients · disputed: The bag photographed in September 2022 and Amazon.com's undated listing for this UPC print two different ingredient lists with the same guaranteed analysis: pea starch, pea protein, pea fiber, potatoes, garlic, dicalcium phosphate, L-carnitine and five fermentation products appear only on the photographed bag, L-threonine only on Amazon's list. Which list the bag now on sale carries needs a current back-panel photo.
- nutrition · unknown: The calorie content statement is outside the frame of the 2022 back-panel photo and Amazon.com prints none for this UPC.
- relationships · unknown: GS1 prefix length for 0859610 is not established: the Open Food Facts block search under 0859610 returned 2 packs on 2026-09-27, both unrelated names (Premium Juice Smoothie, Hus), and newer Blue Buffalo bags carry 840243 UPCs; nothing is written to gs1_prefixes.
