Ingredient safety for pet food has always been our number one priority, even before the matter became national headline news. Needless to say, it was a major consideration when we were creating Empyreal 75.
Empyreal 75 is a pure, natural source of vegetable protein. We also have pasteurization and washing processes in place to reduce the levels of mycotoxins, organophosphates and other compounds. Our strict quality control guidelines help us guarantee that every batch of Empyreal 75 is consistent.
So what you'll be getting is a high-protein, low-ash product that delivers reliable results.
Every precaution is taken when transporting Empyreal 75 to your facility. We have our own dedicated fleet of trailers and railcars specifically designed to move our product safely and securely.
It's something we do to prevent cross-contamination, as well as ensure product availability, when you need it. Every shipment. Every time.
Quality Assurance–We go to great lengths to ensure that Empyreal 75 is manufactured and delivered in the safest way possible. Every one of our customers receives an in-depth, technical manual with the information they need to effectively include Empyreal 75 in their formulation.
By using Empyreal 75, you will get superior and consistent results every time.
In addition to our strict quality control standards and procedures, Empyreal 75 goes through a rigorous pasteurization process that helps destroy bacteria and other objectionable organisms. This process is similar to the pasteurization process of foods such as milk, cheese, and meats that makes them safe for human consumption.
Through our pasteurization process, Empyreal 75 is heated to a minimum of 145 degrees Fahrenheit for no less than 60 minutes. Then it's taken through a drying process to reduce the water activity to less than 0.8 percent.
By holding Empyreal 75 at elevated temperatures in the pasteurization process, we improve stability and extend shelf life.
External Auditing Process–As part of our dedication to creating a quality protein in a clean and safe environment, we are evaluated on an annual basis by several third party auditors, including the American Institute of Bakers and the National Food Processors Association.
They do a site-wide assessment including our facilities, load-out areas, and procedures. Audits evaluate our level of sanitation and good manufacturing practices. We're happy to say that we've consistently done well on all fronts.
