The claim is the #PURRact will remove "the unpredictable" and "the inconsistencies" for pet food companies. The problem is it will add "the unpredictable" and "inconsistencies" for the consumers. States have been regulating pet food for over 100 years. We're pretty darn good at it by now and we know all the tricks of the trade. You'll see and hear fuzzy statistics like, 3 times more pet owners want pet food regulated differently than livestock feed. Did you know that the PURR Act will deregulate pet food and that livestock feed will have better consumer protection than pet food? I don't think that's what pet owners meant when polled. What's consumer protection and why does it matter? You expect pet food products to be held to standards and to have truth in labeling. States help ensure that what you buy is what you get. States are the original pro-consumer advocates. #PURRACT #SayNoToPURRact #ConsumersFirst #ConsumerProtection #AAFCO

🐾🍖 FRIENDS & FAMILY PET FOOD COMPANY AND NOVEL FARMS PARTNER TO BRING CULTIVATED PET MEAT TO CALIFORNIA Friends & Family Pet Food Company, the newly launched startup focused on alternative pet food, has announced a second collaboration to produce cultivated meat for cats and dogs. The Berkeley startup is collaborating with Oakland-based cultivated meat producer Novel Farms, Inc., which has a range of cell lines to make products like quail, chicken, pork and mouse meat. It complements Friends & Family’s partnership with Singapore’s Umami Bioworks to create cultivated seafood for cats, which was announced in July. Friends & Family and Novel Foods are in the testing and prototyping stages right now to determine which meats they want to focus on, but have earmarked a 2025 launch for the product line, co-founder and CEO Joshua Errett tells Green Queen. The target market is the San Francisco Bay Area, and to reach these consumers and their pets, Friends & Family has begun engaging with the FDA’s Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM), which regulates animal feed ingredients and pet food in the US. “Just like all food, pet food is a meat-focused industry that could use some innovation,” says Errett. “Our collaboration-heavy, asset-light approach has the potential to change pet food forever.” He adds: “Novel Farms is a great partner for us as they check all the boxes. We will work together to make customised pet nutrition for cats and dogs.” More details in the full article: https://lnkd.in/eiK_sjbh #GreenQueen #altprotein #cultivatedmeat #foodtech #futurefoods #foodsystems #sustainability

Exciting developments are unfolding in the pet food industry! The UK has become the first country to authorise the sale of lab-grown meat for pet food. This landmark decision has been awarded to Meatly, a British company dedicated to cultivating chicken cells specifically for pet food. As lab-grown meat promises to significantly reduce environmental impact and enhanced animal welfare compared to traditional practices, this move could potentially impact the wider meat industry in due course. In just two years, Meatly has secured full regulatory authorization with £3.5 million in funding, becoming the fourth company to achieve this milestone. In contrast, other lab-grown meat manufacturer pioneers like UPSIDE Foods, GOOD Meat and Vow have taken 5 to 8 years and larger investments to reach a similar stage. According to a survey from Statista the global pet food market is projected to grow by 5% this year, reaching $151 billion. At such an exciting juncture for the industry, we can't wait to see what the future holds and how this affects consumer preferences. What are your thoughts on this evolution? Will you be barking at the door of the shops to let you in once these products are available to purchase? #PetFoodIndustry #InnovationInFood #SustainableMeat #FoodSafety #FoodCompliance
