In Europe, pork is a pure commodity. Meat for human consumption is produced in abundant quantities, and in the process nothing is left to waste. IQI closely works together with certified producers to obtain the best pork products. IQI supplies the premium ingredients like high quality Lard and Premium Greaves meal.
The processing of pork bone for the production of pure pork collagen peptides also results in a meat protein that offers possibilities as a pet food ingredient. Together with the collagen peptide, which is processed in a European human-grade facility, the meat protein is hydrolyzed just as strongly as the collagen peptide. After spray drying the meat, the pure pork meat hydrolysate is ready for use in hypo allergenic pet food recipes. Contrary to pork collagen peptides, pure pork meat hydrolysate is not rich in collagen. It is a meat protein.
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.
