Fresh Smooth Pig vs Fresh Smooth Bird & Fish Dish
Both are fresh foods, so their labels are already broadly comparable - differences here are about formulation, not water content. Declared moisture differs by only 1.0 percentage points, so the conversion changes little.
Nutrition, both ways
Left pair of columns is what each package prints. Right pair removes the water from both. The last column is the difference that survives the conversion.
