IQI focusses on the supply of meat meals and frozen duck of European origin. IQI meets the AAFCO definitions for meat meals and are also able to offer high protein meals and excellent qualities of duck fat preserved with natural anti-oxidants.
IQI dried duck is a co-product of the production of duck fat, also known as confit or graisse de canard in France, where duck fat is a famous regional specialty dish. Duck fat production takes place in human food grade facilities without any use of by-products, such as the head, feet, or viscera. Pure duck meat is dried for use in pet food. Typically, pure dried duck is higher in protein and lower in ash compared to a duck by-product meal. The ingredient is very palatable as dried duck is more or less fried in the duck fat.
EU certified
As confirmed by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), all of IQI's imported animal proteins from Europe which comply with EU Regulation 1069/2009, once further processed into petfood in the U.S. are eligible for export from the U.S. to the EU.
