Two Eden Tins, One Clear Decision
Eden's wet cat food range gives you two closely matched recipes: Turkey and Herring, and Original Cuisine. Both are 200g tins, both are described as naturally hypo-allergenic and nutritionally complete, and both are built on the same ancestral-diet template with 70% freshly prepared animal protein. The meaningful differences come down to the protein source, a small gap in fat and calories, and price. Here is how to choose between them without guessing.
Side-by-side: what separates the two recipes
The table below uses only the supplied product records. Where a detail is not confirmed, it is marked as such rather than assumed.
- Primary protein: Turkey and Herring: turkey 55%, herring 15%. Original Cuisine: chicken 55%, salmon 15%.
- Protein: Turkey and Herring: 10.5%. Original Cuisine: 10.3%.
- Fat: Turkey and Herring: 5.6%. Original Cuisine: 5.3%.
- Metabolisable energy: Turkey and Herring: 131 kcal/100g. Original Cuisine: 128 kcal/100g.
- Moisture: Both recipes list 79% moisture.
- Grain, gluten, white potato: Both are formulated without grain, gluten, or white potato.
- Size: Both are available in 200g tins.
Turkey and Herring: the richer, higher-calorie tin
- Eden Wet Food for Cats: Turkey and Herring: 70% freshly prepared, human-grade turkey and herring, with peas, sweet potato, carrots, blueberries, goji berries, and minerals. This is the headline reason to choose this recipe: a fish-and-poultry protein base rather than chicken and salmon.
Eden Wet Food for Cats: Turkey and Herring - Eden Wet Food for Cats: Turkey and Herring: Analytical constituents: protein 10.5%, fat 5.6%, crude ash 2.4%, crude fibre 0.4%, moisture 79%. Slightly higher protein and fat than Original Cuisine, which matters if you are comparing tins on energy density.
- Eden Wet Food for Cats: Turkey and Herring: Metabolisable energy 131 kcal/100g. The higher calorie figure of the two, useful when portioning for a cat that needs more energy from a smaller volume.
Original Cuisine: the lighter, lower-cost tin
- Eden Wet Food for Cats Original Cuisine: 70% freshly prepared, human-grade chicken and salmon, with peas, sweet potato, carrots, blueberries, goji berries, and minerals. A chicken-and-salmon base is the practical alternative if your cat prefers poultry or you want to rotate fish sources.
Eden Wet Food for Cats Original Cuisine - Eden Wet Food for Cats Original Cuisine: Analytical constituents: protein 10.3%, fat 5.3%, crude ash 2.5%, crude fibre 0.4%, moisture 79%. Marginally lower protein and fat than Turkey and Herring, but close enough that the choice is mostly about ingredients.
- Eden Wet Food for Cats Original Cuisine: Metabolisable energy 128 kcal/100g. Slightly lower calorie density, which can suit a cat that does not need the extra energy.
What the shared recipe tells you
Both tins share the same supporting cast: peas, sweet potato, carrots, blueberries, goji berries, linseed oil, turmeric, MOS and FOS prebiotics, and glucosamine and chondroitin. Both list taurine at 1500mg and a full vitamin and trace-element panel. Neither record confirms a feeding amount, a transition schedule, or a medical claim, so treat the tin as food, not treatment. If your cat has a diagnosed condition or is on a prescribed diet, ask your vet before switching.
How to pick between them
Use these prompts to narrow the choice rather than relying on a single number.
- Your cat prefers fish or poultry?: Turkey and Herring leans on herring; Original Cuisine leans on salmon. If your cat turns its nose up at one, the other is the natural next tin.
- You want slightly more calories per gram?: Turkey and Herring at 131 kcal/100g versus Original Cuisine at 128 kcal/100g is a small but real difference when portioning.
- You are rotating proteins?: Keeping both tins in the rotation gives you turkey, herring, chicken, and salmon across two products without changing the overall recipe style.
- You want the lower catalog price?: The supplied catalog lists Original Cuisine at USD 1.34 and Turkey and Herring at USD 1.55 per 200g tin, so price may tip the decision if you are buying in quantity.
What these records do not confirm
Neither product record supplies a feeding guide, a transition plan, or a variety-pack configuration. If you are looking for a wet cat food variety pack, the supplied evidence does not confirm that either product is sold in one, so check the live product page before assuming a multipack exists. Likewise, the records do not confirm suitability for specific life stages or medical conditions. Use the ingredient and analytical detail above to compare the tins, and treat any unlisted detail as something to verify rather than infer.
