Scoular and SEADLING have announced an exclusive partnership to introduce a novel ingredient to North American pet food markets: fermented dried seaweed powder. This ingredient, developed by SEADLING using proprietary technology, is poised to offer numerous health benefits for pets, making it an attractive option for manufacturers looking to enhance the nutritional profile of their products.
Seaweed is increasingly recognized as a superfood due to its rich nutritional content. According to SEADLING's Head of Product, Dr. Birdie Scott Padam, the fermented seaweed powder aids in various aspects of pet health, including skin, coat, gut and dental health, as well as supporting brain function, bone development and cardiovascular health. Additionally, the seaweed powder is a valuable source of essential minerals and vitamins, such as vitamin K2 and potassium, which are often lacking in pet diets.
Evan Ibach, senior merchant for Scoular Pet, noted that the growing demand for pet food with functional health benefits makes this ingredient particularly timely. The ingredient also aligns with consumers' increasing focus on sustainability, as it is produced through farming rather than wild harvesting, minimizing environmental impact and ensuring consistent quality.
SEADLING's commitment to sustainability and the promotion of seaweed as a next-generation, eco-friendly ingredient reflects a broader trend among consumers who prioritize environmentally responsible products. This partnership is expected to resonate with pet food manufacturers and pet owners alike, offering a combination of health benefits and sustainable sourcing.
