EP#65 - Is your Pet Food Safe - Pet Food Safety Series #2 w/ David Primrose

Do you know if your pet food is safe? What happened in 2007 with food fraud and the economically motivated adulteration of pet food that killed 4000 pets can happen again...What can each of us do to mitigate the risks and the vulnerability associated with food fraud and risky food practices.

David Primrose - Expert in pet food safety discusses where we have the opportunity to create change in food safety.

Here are a few important take-aways from the episode:

Traceability study...ask your pet food brand to provide this information for your specific batch of pet food and see what they tell you. Do they have this data? if not, then be wary.

When it comes to Salmonella is a zero tolerance policy for salmonella realistic, especially with the large number of raw foods in the commercial pet food sector? David delves into this question.

David is adamant that HACCP needs to be applied to the pet food supply chain and with that a greater sharing of data between all manufacturers in order for brands and manufacturers to create a state of prevention as opposed to constantly being in a reactive response mode.

Education of all stakeholders in the pet food supply chain including the pet owners is incredibly important - in general we need more transparency and the pet owner needs to show a high standard of hygiene from feeding to cleaning up/picking up feces... Listen & learn
