Black Hawk

A popular premium-mainstream brand that's everywhere and reasonably priced in big bags — but its strength is reach, not ingredients. Quality swings noticeably across the range: the better formulas lead with named meat, while cheaper lines lean on rice and grain to bulk out the panel. You're partly paying for shelf presence and marketing, so read the specific recipe rather than the brand badge.
