Where these two actually differ

  • 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 Purina Pro Plan.
  • We flag Unidentified interior coating composition and Moisture-driven bag degradation and mold risk on the Purina Pro Plan and not on the Purina Pro Plan.
  • The Purina Pro Plan is paper/kraft outer bag with likely polyethylene inner lining (food contact) where the Purina Pro Plan is Paper/kraft bag with possible grease-resistant interior coating (unspecified), 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 →
