As Dick pointed out, quality ingrediënts are very important, and to be as fresh as possible. So a half year expiration date at most. It should be appropriate for the watertemperature as far as protein %. I do not believe in all year foods, since they either have to much protein for winter conditions or not enough for summer time. The food should not fall apart in the water, create as little floating particles as possible, should not color the water. It should not change Shiroji into a yellowish white. And above all, when eaten by koi, it should produce solid waste.
