Clasado Biosciences, a maker of prebiotic ingredients and product solutions for the gut microbiome, has joined UK Pet Food to further develop its position in the companion animal health and nutrition sector.
The UK Pet Food association is designed to advance pet health and wellbeing through high-quality and sustainable nutrition, guiding industry best practices, shaping policy and legislation, and supporting responsible manufacture of pet food and supplements. As part of the association's membership network, Clasado said it aims to support growing interest in prebiotics for pet health and nutrition.
"Joining UK Pet Food is a natural progression for us as we continue to build our footprint in companion animal health," said Lucie Nagy, general counsel at Clasado. "The organisation plays an important role in promoting transparency, standards and evidence-based guidance across the UK pet food and supplement industry. We look forward to contributing to its work through the lens of microbiome science and regulatory insight, supporting shared goals around pet health, nutrition and sustainability."
Clasado said its prebiotic ingredient Bimuno GOS is established as one of the most studied galactooligosaccharides globally. Backed by 125 scientific publications and over 20 clinical trials across human and animal health, it is being applied in the development of pet-specific formulations under the Bimuno Pet brand. With proven benefits in digestive and immune health, Bimuno GOS offers a foundation for science-backed gut-health innovation in the pet nutrition space.
"We are pleased to welcome Clasado to our membership," said Beth Morgan, membership and events executive at UK Pet Food. "Our role is to promote high standards in pet food and supplements through shared knowledge, policy support and collaboration across the supply chain. Members like Clasado, with a strong scientific background, are vital to driving continued progress in our industry."
The UK Pet Food membership builds on Clasado's commitment to advancing companion animal wellness, following its recent inclusion in other industry bodies in animal nutrition, including BAFSAM and the NASC.
