The growth of the natural pet food category continues to climb and is becoming a larger portion of the pet food market. The rules regarding natural claims in pet food differ somewhat from that of human foods, but the idea is much the same.

Recent adaptation of old technology with organic acids in various “cultures” may provide a path forward to avoid mold production and thus produce longer term shelf-stable foods.
