Pet Food Safety Ingredients

Food safety in the petfood industry is a shared responsibility among renderers, ingredient suppliers, petfood manufacturers, distributors and even the pet owners who feed the final pet food or pet treat to their companion pets. Ensuring the safety and quality of commercial pet foods is both a challenging and complex process.

Petfood manufacturers face challenges like oxidative deterioration and microbial contamination of both their ingredients and finished pet food. Failure to control oxidation and microbial risks of the ingredients used in pet foods can result in loss of nutritional quality, reduction in palatability, and increased microbial risk.
