Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Interior film liner composition (unspecified) and Moisture and mold in bag storage on the Orijen and not on the Purina Pro Plan.
  • We flag Mineral oil or ink migration from paper and Mold or bacterial growth from moisture ingress on the Purina Pro Plan and not on the Orijen.
  • The Orijen is paper/kraft paperboard bag with interior film liner (unspecified) where the Purina Pro Plan is paper/kraft outer bag with likely polyethylene inner lining (food contact), which is most of the difference in these two grades.
  • These two are level, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.

Both products run through the same public rubric: materials, coatings, brand disclosure, lab findings, and recalls, plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis. Grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests. How grades work →
