Background: ownership, sourcing and positioning
Fancy Feast and Orijen both sit inside multinational consumer goods groups, but the two brands draw on very different corporate heritages. Fancy Feast runs more than 100 SKUs globally across pate, gravy, broth, shredded and classic textures. Orijen runs production exclusively at two company-owned kitchens in Alberta and Kentucky with no private-label work. The two brands differ in several ways beyond the one point highlighted here.
Fancy Feast is made in Pluakdaeng, Rayong, Thailand. It was created by Carnation in 1982 as the first 'gourmet' cat food, predating Nestlé's acquisition by three years.
Orijen is built around 'WholePrey' ratios with 85 to 90 percent animal inclusions including fresh and raw meat, organs and bone.
