I sent your question about the Euk food vs the info on the website to their Chief Nutritionist, Dr Eric Altom. Here is his response. Hope this helps:

Good catch.* Here is the rest of the story.
*
The data on the Nutritional Objectives lists our “formula targets”.* These are the specific nutrient targets I would require in the finished product.* The nutrient values on the bag are the product GA.* These are the minimum nutrient level in the product.* If the diet does not meet these minimum nutrient targets, then it is not saleable products.* Therefore, the minimum GA listed on the bag are always going to be lower that the formula nutrient targets and the finished product specs.
*
For Eukanuba large breed puppy, the nutrients “in the bag” are 27% protein, 15% fat, 0.8-0.9 % calcium and 0.7% Phosphorus.
*
I know this can be very confusing at times.* Please let me know if additional details are needed.* EKA
