Pet food ingredient solutions for safety, freshness and nutrition

Pet food solutions built around product quality and nutrition

Corbion helps pet food manufacturers address two connected priorities: protecting product safety, shelf life and quality, and delivering high-quality nutrition through algae-based omega-3 DHA. Pet food manufacturers need ingredients that support product safety, shelf life, sensory quality, processing performance and nutritional goals in formats that work. Corbion combines fermentation expertise, preservation science and application expertise to help manufacturers address these priorities across pet food, supplements and treat applications.

 

Preserve safety, shelf life and product quality

Preservation is part of the complete pet food system. Corbion works with manufacturers to identify practical and formulation-appropriate ingredient solutions that help manage microbial risks, control mold and spoilage, delay oxidation and protect important product attributes such as flavor, texture and processing performance.

 

Food safety

For pet food and treat manufacturers, food safety strategies may need to address organisms such as Salmonella, Listeria monocytogenes and Clostridium botulinum depending on the product and process. Corbion applies preservation expertise to the full food matrix rather than treating pathogen control as an isolated formulation decision.

 

Shelf life and freshness

Freshness solutions can help manage mold, microbial spoilage and oxidation while supporting the sensory and label goals of the finished product. The right approach depends on factors such as moisture, pH, processing, packaging, distribution and the desired shelf life.

 

Support pet nutrition with algae-based omega-3 DHA

Nutrition is another important part of Corbion’s pet food offering. AlgaPrime™ DHA provides a high-quality source of omega-3 DHA produced from microalgae through controlled fermentation. Its traceable production provides manufacturers with an additional source of long-chain omega-3, helping them diversify their sourcing strategies and maintain more consistent access to DHA for pet food, supplement and treat formulations.
