Sweet potatoes have become increasingly popular in pet food as they have proven to be a safe, healthy, and natural ingredient with a range of health benefits, especially for dogs. Next to their high vitamin and mineral content, especially vitamins A, C, and B6, as well as potassium and calcium, they support a healthy digestive system thanks to their starch content of at least 55%. On top of all this, sweet potatoes are generally regarded as a very high-quality carbohydrate source.
Sweet potato powder is a grain-free alternative pet food ingredient, which is low in iron and free from pesticides. Maintaining strict quality control and transparent reporting on the sourcing and production of this relatively new ingredient, IQI has developed its own vertically integrated supply chain of sweet potato pellets together with its partner. All contracted farmers have the required GMP and HACCP quality certificates for sweet potato production and will always deliver certain minimum amounts of sweet potato as part of their contracts. This makes Tai sweet potato a sustainable, clean, and reliable source that guarantees consistent quality with negligible pesticide residues.
