UK petfood company to open anaerobic digestion plant in September

A UK petfood processing company will open an anaerobic digestion plant in September, which will be able to recycle 45,000 metric tons of food waste each year and produce 2.8 Mw of renewable electricity and heat. Prosper De Mulder’s £12m (US$19.13 million) plant will create 35 to 40 new jobs, and will allow the company to move away from using landfills to dispose of food waste.

Pet Food Safety

Target petfood safety with process hardware

Petfood manufacturers are looking for innovative ways to modify existing facilities and processing lines to accommodate the safest petfood processes possible. But as the recent Nestlé Purina recall of dry cat food due to Salmonella contamination demonstrates, there are significant challenges in manufacturing, packaging and delivering these products in the supply chain.

Every aspect of the petfood facilityâ€”from product movement through the plant and contamination from outside sources to equipment designâ€”all require rethinking in light of recent FDA regulations, sanitary practices and GMPs.

Bringing a new petfood concept to market

Where do new product ideas come from in the petfood industry? Do they only come from marketing or sales? In my experience, some of the fastest growing new products or brands have come from single entrepreneurs as well as large multifunctional groups.

Once a product idea is conceived and planned, often it becomes a balancing act of activities and reactions.
