One working group of the Pet Food Alliance is progressing toward this goal for the pet food and rendering industries.

The two companies will develop sustainable proteins for dog and cat foods using precision fermentation.

The partnership will help Wilbur-Ellis Nutrition reduce its environmental footprint and drive collective industry improvements toward sustainability.

The association also discussed broadening its resources during its annual board of trustees’ meeting.

The company’s Nutrition segment will acquire F.L. Emmert.

Supply chain challenges, sustainability, alternative proteins and humanization are all priorities for this pet industry leader.
