Pet Foods, Processing Tech and We Want Your Vote

Our cover story looks at some of the different ways food processors and equipment manufacturers are approaching the production of frozen food. One of the best ways to learn about new technology and applications is by attending events like IPPE – the International Production and Processing Expo, held every year in Atlanta, Georgia. This year’s IPPE was no different, with a show floor packed and R&FF had the opportunity to meet and learn from a number of the top companies in the F&B industry.

For the millions of Americans who own pets, an increasing number of them are treating their four-legged friends to refrigerated and frozen foods. R&FF talked with We Feed Raw, a subscription-based, fresh pet food company and looks at how the industry is responding to rising demand.
