Pet Food Processing - November 2024 - 21

TRENDS
- essentially taking a holistic view of ingredients and
from where they are sourced.
" Responsible sourcing at Instinct means ensuring that
the ingredients we use in our pet food are obtained in a
way that is ethical and sustainable, " said Dave McCoy, director
of strategic sourcing at Instinct Pet Food, Lincoln,
Neb. " Ultimately, it's about doing the right thing for our
pets and the planet. "
Many pet food manufacturers have turned toward
ingredients that carry environmental certifications, like
those offered by the Aquaculture Stewardship Council
(ASC), Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), Ocean
Wise, the Global Animal Partnership (G.A.P.), and
many others.
Responsible sourcing is
not only becoming increasingly
popular and respected,
it's also an expected
approach to business. "
Christine Mallier, Petcurean
For example, Instinct uses wild-caught Alaskan
Pollock from fisheries certified by the MSC, a global
non-profit striving to end overfishing and ensure that
seafood is fished sustainably. Today, all fish used at the
company's Lincoln facilities is MSC-certified.
Hill's Pet Nutrition, Overland Park, Kan., also uses
MSC-certified, wild-caught Alaskan Pollock in its popular
Science Diet Sensitive Stomach and Skin line, which
also includes novel and sustainable protein sources.
According to Nick Rozzi, Ph.D., vice president, product
development at Hill's, utilizing this ingredient helps reduce
carbon footprints.
" Hill's is focused on responsibly sourcing ingredients,
ensuring traceability, and certification from organizations
like the MSC, Marine Trust and Friends of the Sea,
to meet sustainability standards, " he added.
Petcurean sources marine microalgae from a partner
that is both ASC- and MSC-certified to ensure high
standards for sustainable fishing.
Open Farm, Toronto, also uses MSC-certified seafood.
Additionally, all the company's seafood ingredients
are required to be sustainably sourced, either recommended
by Ocean Wise or ASC- or MSC-certified.
" Responsible sourcing at Open Farm is rooted in the
idea that there is a continuous link between land, animals
and people - where doing good for one, leads to
good for others, " explained Jacqueline Prehogan, cofounder
and chief brand officer of Open Farm. " ... The
concept comes to life through the Open Farm Promise
under which we commit to source meat ingredients acwww.petfoodprocessing.net

cording
to
strict
animal
welfare standards, sourcing
seafood
responsibly
and
maintaining strict ingredient
standards. "
According to Prehogan,
responsible sourcing has
been part of Open Farm's
ethos since the very
beginning.
" We believe responsible
sourcing has benefits for the plant,
the animals in our supply chain, and by doing this we
can make better pet food, so it's a win-win, " Prehogan
added. " It is firmly integrated into how we create our
recipes, select suppliers, and is ultimately part of the authentic
storytelling that we are proud to share with pet
parents to give them piece of mind that they are making
the right choice for their pet and the planet. "
Exploring innovation
To advance responsible sourcing practices, the industry
is also turning toward innovation in the form of new ingredients
and technologies. Novel proteins, like insects,
are offering opportunities.
Hill's Pet Nutrition uses insects raised in North
America in its Science Diet Sensitive Stomach & Skin
dog recipe. Realizing the continued need for more
sustainable proteins, Hill's has also been exploring innovative
technologies in collaboration with Bond Pet
Foods, Boulder, Colo., a developer of fermented animal
proteins.
Petcurean has incorporated black solider fly larvae
(BSFL) in its Go! Solutions Sensitivities Limited
A long-time champion
of regenerative
agriculture, Canidae's
All Life Stages pet
food line is formulated
with regeneratively
farmed ingredients.
Canidae
As part of its responsible
sourcing
initiatives, Petcurean
has incorporated
novel ingredients, like
insects, and upcycled
ingredients into its pet
foods and treats.
