When making canned pet food, a big premise is to ensure the health and safety of pet food. To sell canned pet food commercially, it must be sterilized according to current health and hygiene regulations to ensure that the canned food is safe to eat and stored at room temperature.
As with any food preparation, ingredients are thoroughly cleaned, chopped, and cooked as needed. Finally, they are sealed in airtight containers and sent to a retort for heat treatment to achieve commercial sterility standards, ensuring that the canned product can be properly preserved.
Keep in mind that our retort also allow for cooking of food, so we recommend not fully cooking your pet’s food beforehand, allow it to finish maturing in the retort to avoid overcooking.
Canned pet food is usually sterilized at high temperatures so that it can be stored for a long time at room temperature. However, once opened, the remaining product must be stored in the refrigerator.
