Pork is an important part of the human diet in many European, American, and Asian countries. Although not often serving as a claim ingredient in pet food, it is used in numerous pet food formulations. Of the many different pork-based ingredients available to the pet food industry, IQI focuses on specialty pork-based ingredients for pet food. Programs for pig production pay special attention to animal welfare, which is becoming more and more important to consumers and pet parents alike.
IQI offers a range of dried pork products to the pet food industry. Our processing is typically done more subtle than the classical rendering. Most of our dried pork products come from human-grade processing lines in which gentle cooking processes are used to separate the fat. Spray drying or other low-temperature drying methods are used to make the final product shelf stable. Our dried pork products are stabilized with natural antioxidants, while ash levels are typically way below 10%. Together with our supply partners, we can tailor product specifications to customer’s needs.
