UK Pet Food invites veterinary professionals to an informative panel discussion on pet food processing, exploring its impact on nutrition, safety, and sustainability. Titled “Processed with Purpose: Unpacking the Pet Food Debate," this event will also explore the truths and misconceptions around terms like “processed” and “ultra-processed”, addressing comparisons with human food processing.
Focusing on informing veterinary professionals, and answering their questions, this event will offer insights into how different processing methods play a vital role in producing complete and balanced foods for pets, while offering plenty of choice to pet owners.
The panel will be chaired by Michael Bellingham, Chief Executive of UK Pet Food, and feature speakers, including Dr Andrew Miller (UK Pet Food Veterinary Nutrition Committee), Cat Henstridge, and Caroline Curtis (UK Pet Food Sustainability Committee). Attendees are encouraged to participate in an interactive Q&A session, with roving microphones for audience engagement.
