Baxter's

Woolworths' long-running supermarket house brand and one of the cheapest feeds per kg available. It sits near the bottom of our index for a clear reason: cereal-led panels rather than named meat, minimal sourcing detail behind the label, and meat content among the lowest in the range. The price is the entire pitch — there's little ingredient story to weigh against it.

Baxter's is a retailer-owned or house-promoted range, often keenly priced. Because it's stocked in fewer places, independent price comparison takes a little more work — compare on price per kg to find the best value.
