VIBRISSE MENU chicken with goji berries in cheese sauce, 70 g is a canned wet food for adult and senior cats. The manufacturer calls it complete. Ingredients: chicken 53%, goji berries 3%, cheese 2%, vegetable fats, tapioca and minerals. The analysis: protein 9%, fat 2%, fibre 1%, ash 2%, moisture 85.5%, taurine 500 mg. There are no colours or preservatives. The food is steamed in its own juice to an Italian recipe, which, according to the description, preserves the taste — important for fussy cats.
What the manufacturer claims
VIBRISSE is a line from the Italian company Croci. MENU cans are positioned as a complete wet food. According to the brand, steam cooking preserves the ingredients' benefits and natural taste as much as possible. The card notes that feeding amounts depend on the individual cat and its environment and that an opened can keeps for 48 hours. According to the options, it is flakes in a can.

Pros
- Chicken-based. 53% meat.
- Taurine listed. Unlike the Jelly pouches, the analysis includes taurine.
- An unusual flavour. Cheese sauce tempts many cats.
- No colours or preservatives.
- One meal per can. A 70 g can.
- High moisture. 85.5% means extra water for the cat.
Cons and what to watch
- Taurine without units. It says "500 mg" but not per what amount of food.
- Unclear vegetable fats. The fat source is not named.
- No vitamins listed. That is thin for a complete food, so it is safer to combine it with a complete dry food.
- Cheese is dairy. There is little of it (2%), but cats sensitive to dairy should start carefully.
How MENU differs from Jelly
VIBRISSE has two lines that look alike. Jelly pouches are fish or meat in gum jelly, almost fat-free (0.3%) and with no stated taurine — for example Vibrisse Jelly tuna in jelly. MENU cans come with sauce, vegetable fats and tapioca; they contain more fat (2%) and list taurine. For a cat that eats mostly wet food, MENU looks like the better choice.
Goji and cheese: why they are there
Goji berries (3%) and cheese (2%) mainly provide flavour and sauce. The manufacturer does not attribute any therapeutic properties to them, and you should not expect any at such a small share. The main nutritional component here is chicken. Tapioca thickens the sauce.
How to feed it
It is convenient to give one can per meal alongside a complete dry food. If your cat eats only cans, it is better to set the total portion with a vet — the card gives no exact feeding amounts. Feeding schedules are covered in how many times a day to feed a cat.
Storage
Cover an opened can and keep it in the fridge for up to 48 hours, as the card states. Warm the portion to room temperature before serving. Remove leftovers from the bowl after 20–30 minutes.
Moisture in the diet
The cans are 85.5% water. This helps cats on dry food and neutered and senior cats, which often drink little. Water needs are covered in how much water a cat should drink.
Who it suits
The cans suit adult and senior cats, fussy eaters and cats that need extra moisture. Use with caution in cats sensitive to dairy and cats allergic to chicken. Other cans are in canned cat food. Wet and dry feeding are compared in what to feed a cat.
Verdict
VIBRISSE MENU chicken with goji in cheese sauce is a steamed 70 g can: 53% chicken, cheese, goji, tapioca, 9% protein, 2% fat, taurine, no colours or preservatives. The downsides are taurine given without units and no named fat source or vitamins.
