I would not be concerned if those were the only ingredients, Otis should be fine.

He may get a slight amount of gastrointestinal upset. You may notice some mild vomiting or diarrhea. If this is the case try placing him on a bland diet for a few days to help support his system while it recovers;

It is unlikely If he becomes very unwell, please seek veterinary care or start by posting another question on the forum. As I mentioned, I believe Otis will be fine.
