As interest in alternative protein sources continues to grow, UK Pet Food is has announced the release of its latest factsheet, Cell-Cultivated Products in Pet Food.
The factsheet, now available on the UK Pet Food website, provides pet professionals, owners, and industry stakeholders with clear, science-based insights into the potential role of cell-cultivated products in pet nutrition.
Covering key topics such as production methods, safety considerations, and consumer perceptions, the resource aims to inform and support discussions around this emerging technology.
Sarah Hormozi, head of science and education at UK Pet Food, said: “As companion animals continue to play a vital role in society, and pressure on resources increases, ensuring the long-term sustainability of the pet food industry is more important than ever.
“A wide range of safe, sustainable, and nutritious protein sources – such as animal by-products, plant-based ingredients, and insect proteins – are already used in pet food, and the new addition of cell-cultivated products is a new step in driving progress.
“Our factsheet addresses key questions and highlights the need for continued scientific and innovative exploration in the field of animal nutrition.”
