Human-Grade Pet Food Market Dynamics

Increasing demand for pet food will be a lucrative opportunity for manufacturers to expand custom pet food

One post-pandemic food business trend is a preference for higher-quality pet food. As the industry rushes to create human-grade pet food options, pet parents have more selections at the shop than ever before. Food processors are now looking for process knowledge and direction for equipment solutions in order to meet the growing requirements of pet parents around the country. Marlen's size reduction specialists and continuous thermal product line specialists, for instance, are well-versed in recommending an ideal pet food product solution, particularly to manufacturers who produce pet food made of human-grade meat and plant-based meat substitutes, as well as other specialty pet treats. Marlen has been a genuine process partner, working alongside customers to develop unique solutions to produce novel pet foods and treats as the pet industry evolves.

Human-grade pet food is frequently stored in refrigerators, which are often the same refrigerators that pet parents use to store the rest of their household's food. Given the proximity and likeness of human-grade pet chow to human food, there is a food safety problem. Pasteurization is required for pet food for these reasons. Continuous pasteurization provided by Marlen's Spiral Ovens ensures that pet food products can minimize or eliminate the requirement for preservatives while retaining the product's shelf life. Pet food producers require pre-package and post-package pasteurization systems that provide both lethality for food safety reasons and shelf-life extension to optimize sales opportunities in broader markets.Furthermore, pet food makers will discover a solution for their pet food product needs with guidance and process experience from Marlen's product line specialists. Marlen and pet food manufacturers will collaborate to address the rising market need for human-grade, high-quality pet food.
