GNT has unveiled a new range of plant-based EXBERRY® concentrates that can deliver taste, nutrition and colour to petfood products. The petfood range is designed for products including kibbles, snacks and treats.
The EXBERRY® Pet Food Range is fully compliant with applicable EU regulations for petfood. The concentrates are designed for products including kibbles, snacks and treats, allowing manufacturers to develop nutritious and enjoyable treats with a full rainbow of intense shades.
GNT is a global market leader in natural colors for food and drink. The company has developed a selection of non-GMO fruit, vegetable and plant concentrates for cat and dog food, following the fast-growing demand for premium petfood.
Christina Niehoff, Product Manager at GNT Group, said: “We are delighted to be able to supply our high-quality EXBERRY® products to petfood manufacturers. Consumer focus on pet health and wellness is increasing rapidly, with owners seeking high-quality products made with natural ingredients”. He added that its colour-intensive, plant-based ingredients make it possible for manufacturers to create more natural products while still achieving visual differentiation.
The recently launched petfood range supports product formulations aligned with modern trends such as ‘no artificial colours’ and ‘natural’. The concentrates are created from raw materials including apples, carrots, radishes, turmeric and spirulina using gentle processing methods and without the use of chemical solvents.
Christina Niehoff said: “The EXBERRY® Pet Food range offers a truly natural solution for cat and dog food. GNT has vast formulation experience working with equivalent applications in food and drink, and we are delighted to be now able to provide our expertise to petfood manufacturers as well”.
