Avian Influenza and Raw Pet Food: What Pet Owners Should Know

At UK Pet Food, your pet's health and safety are our top priorities. We understand concerns about avian influenza (AI) and its potential impact on raw pet food. Rest assured, strict regulations and industry practices are in place to ensure raw pet food remains safe. Meat used in raw pet food production must meet rigorous standards, including compliance with UK and EU regulations. Additionally, any poultry from areas affected by AI is clearly marked and cannot be used in raw pet food.

Our members go above and beyond to maintain safety, using trusted suppliers outside AI-affected zones, conducting thorough safety checks, and following government guidance. We also work closely with DEFRA and the Food Standards Agency to stay updated on AI developments. While there is no evidence of widespread contamination, we remain committed to transparency and the highest standards to keep your pets healthy.
