The core of pet food packaging can not be bypassed: freshness and safety

With the development of modern society, people's mentality towards pets has changed. More and more people regard pets as family members, and the love and demand for pets are increasing day by day. Especially in modern society, people's work pressure and social isolation have increased, and pets have become an important source of emotional support for them. Therefore, people are willing to provide their pets with high-quality food, medical care, daily care and recreational activities to ensure their physical and mental health. This mindset shift has led to rapid growth in the pet food market and higher requirements for pet food packaging.

The core challenge of pet food packaging is how to keep the food fresh and safe. Pet food often requires a long shelf life and needs to withstand a range of storage and transportation conditions. Therefore, pet food packaging needs to have the following aspects of ability:

Isolation of oxygen and moisture: Pet food packaging should be able to effectively isolate external oxygen and moisture to prevent food spoilage and mildew. Oxygen and moisture are one of the main causes of food spoilage and spoilage. The use of multilayer film or air-conditioned packaging technology can effectively prevent the penetration of oxygen and moisture. These packaging materials have excellent oxygen and moisture insulation properties, which can maintain the freshness and quality of food.

Prevent food oxidation: Pet food packaging needs to be able to effectively prevent the oxidation of fats and other ingredients in the food to maintain the freshness and taste of the food. Oxidation is a common problem that leads to food spoilage, reduced nutritional value and deterioration of taste. By using oxidation protection technology and adding antioxidants, the shelf life of food can be effectively extended and the nutritional value and taste of food can be maintained.

Prevent odors and contamination: Pet food packaging should be able to effectively prevent odors and contaminants from entering the food to maintain the purity and quality of the food. The presence of odors and contaminants can affect the taste and safety of pet food. The use of packaging materials with good sealing and the addition of adsorbents can effectively prevent the penetration of odors and pollutants. This ensures that the quality and taste of pet food are not affected by external factors.

Maintain nutritional stability: Pet food packaging needs to be able to maintain the stability of the nutritional content of the food. Some key nutrients, such as vitamins and proteins, break down and degrade when exposed to light, oxygen and moisture. By using light blocking materials and adjusting the packaging environment, the stability of nutrients in the food can be effectively maintained, thus providing healthy pet food.

Provide easy use and storage: Pet food packaging should have easy use and storage features to meet the needs of pet owners. The packaging should be easy to open and close, and have a form and size suitable for storage. In addition, labels and instructions on packaging should be clear and easy to understand to help pet owners use and preserve food properly.

To sum up, pet food packaging faces challenges in keeping it fresh and safe, which requires a variety of technologies and methods to achieve. The quality and safety of pet food can be ensured by isolating oxygen and moisture, preventing oxidation, preventing odors and contamination, and providing easy use and storage.
