UK Pet Food has partnered with the coalition and is urging its pet industry members to sign on to the sustainable packaging pledge.

The company plans to launch new and improved flavors of its functional dog and cat food formulas.

The associations will aim to support the animal feed and pet food industries with funds from the USDA FAS’s Market Access Program.

The facility will produce PEKILO® mycoprotein ingredients for the aquaculture, pet food and food industries.

In the coming months, the startup will launch highly nutritious, sustainable treats for dogs and cats, as well as its first complete-and-balanced formula.

Olivier Fleurot will oversee global research and development, innovation, nutrition, packaging, engineering and more at the pet food company.

Developed by North Coast Seafoods, the fish-based pet food line includes dry formulas and meal toppers for cats.

Josh Patterson will leverage his extensive pet industry career and digital expertise to support Vital Essentials.

Arch Pet Food, an alternative protein and allergen-friendly pet nutrition startup, has been selected as one of the five winners.

According to the Consumer Brands Association (CBA), the decision leaves room for improvement.
