Factors such as moisture content, raw materials, and the production process can introduce pathogenic bacteria, yeast, and mold into your pet foods and ingredients. If these pathogens proliferate, you risk slowdowns in production, recalls, and even sick pets and people.
Videka offers solutions that protect against these safety hazards to help keep your pet food fresh and safe to eat from the production plant to the consumer's shelf – thus also guarding your business and your brand.
Pathogenic bacteria such as salmonella can cause illness in both pets and humans, which for pet food manufacturers would also trigger delays, extra costs, and the headaches of product recalls. Protecting against bacteria is particularly important during the rendering process and in raw materials, especially when using ingredients like raw poultry meat, ruminant by-products (like beef or lamb), and eggs.
Spoilage organisms such as yeast and mold, found throughout our environment, can shorten a product’s shelf life and reduce its palatability. Pet food manufacturers must protect against these hazards to reduce the risk of yeast and mold issues in finished goods.
Contaminated raw materials can create issues right down the production line, making antimicrobial use imperative from the beginning and throughout the production process (e.g., in kibble coating).
The Videka antimicrobial range offers cost-effective protection solutions with the best ingredients on the market.
We back our products with world-class laboratories and scientists providing reliable testing to show just how well our formulations can work for you.
