food safety data and document food safety checks.
This allows us to capture this data digitally rather
than using paper. This will help us verify records faster
and alert us sooner if something is out of the norm."
Monteleone says that it's not so much any specific
technology that's been a game changer, but more of
an improved all-around approach and confrontation
of pathogenic bacteria risks. "In terms of confrontation, there is a war going on now between preventative
actions and bacteria," he says. "We characterize that as a
good thing, since before the processes were more reactive than proactive. FSMA and SQF are the charter."
Also, pet food producers are no longer looking for
one silver bullet but winning a war of attrition. They
confront bacteria at its earliest detection and may
employ multiple steps and methods to ensure product
integrity. That culture of thinking is more like a human
food producer.
Innovative strategies
Monitoring extrusion time, temperature and pressure
validation is one tactic improving pet food quality. "It
was previously an overlooked tool that was readily available," Monteleone says. "Also, raw material process validations and treatments. Many producers are looking to
receive whole muscle cuts free of pathogens by treating
upstream at the processors." Using processing aid washes
are another option.
Pond says organic acids are being utilized to reduce
food safety risk of pathogens in the human food industry and some are now utilizing these technologies in pet
food production to reduce the potential of pathogens in
ingredients added post-extrusion.
Overlooked sources
Even the best facilities have problems controlling contamination 100%, and there are still some gram-negative
bacteria sleeping in the dust collection points. "Hygiene,
process controls and functioning ingredients are still the
best resource actions. Also, raw proteins," Monteleone
says. "I can remember walking into a state-of-the-art pet
food plant that just started with extreme human food
safety controls - pre- and post-cook isolations, negative air flow, boot wash stations. That plant manager was
wise enough to know these measures could not stop the
eventuality of pathogens crossing into their food. But it
was comforting to see the effort, and realistic approach."
Martin says transportation vessels seem to be an area
of contamination that, while difficult to address, need to
What appears to be a hygienic plant may still contain residue of
pathogenic organisms.
