    Choosing human-grade supplements for your pets has numerous advantages:

     

    1. Higher Quality Ingredients: Human-food-grade products use significantly higher quality raw ingredients than traditional pet food, which means substantially better pet nutrition.
    2. Highest Safety Standards: NutriFlex products are manufactured in a facility accredited for human food safety with FSA (Food Safety Accredited) and GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) certifications. Stringent safety standards eliminate the risk of contamination typically associated with feed-grade pet products.
    3. Improved Digestibility: The superior quality ingredients in human-grade food are generally easier for pets to digest. Higher digestibility means improved an improved immune system, gut health and better absorption of nutrients for overall well-being.
    4. Transparency: Human food grade ensures transparency about the sourcing and processing of ingredients. Ethical sourcing of ingredients guaranteed free from undisclosed and hidden ingredients gives pet owners peace of mind about what they feed their beloved pets.
    5. Palatability: Human food-grade pet food is more palatable, which can be a bonus for pet owners with picky eaters.

     

    Our dedication to your pet’s well-being and longevity translates into a steadfast “no nasties” policy. You won’t find GMO ingredients, preservatives, fillers, by-products, hormones, or pesticides in our products.

    Unravelling the ‘Human-Grade’ Myth: Why Production Standards Matter in the Pet Food Industry

     

    The claim of “human-grade” carries significant weight in the pet food industry. However, for this claim to be accurate and trustworthy, the ingredients’ quality and the manufacturing process should meet specific criteria.

     

    High-quality ingredients aren’t enough if those ingredients aren’t processed in facilities that meet the same rigorous standards as human food facilities. Here’s why:

     

    1. Risk of Contamination: Typically, non-food-grade facilities do not uphold the same sanitary standards as their food-grade counterparts. Such facilities increase the risk of harmful bacteria, such as Salmonella or E. coli, contaminating the final product, posing significant health risks to pets and humans.
    2. Inadequate Quality Control: Stringent quality control protocols are mandatory in food-grade facilities to ensure food safety. These entail regular inspections and adherence to specific storage and handling practices. A product manufactured outside such a facility may lack these essential quality controls, increasing the risk.
    3. Misleading Claims: If a pet food or pet supplement brand claims its product is human food-grade but does not manufacture it in certified food-grade facilities, it can mislead consumers. The term “human-grade” suggests a level of quality and safety that the product might not be able to deliver, causing pet owners to potentially make uninformed decisions about their pet’s nutrition and health.

     

    In summary, for a pet food product or pet supplement to be termed human-grade, it must contain food-grade ingredients and be produced in a facility approved for human food production. Anything less undermines the claim’s integrity and can put pets’ health at risk.

    Sharon Milani

    Sharon Milani did not set out to build a pet supplement brand. She set out to save Hector. When her 12-year-old Mini Schnauzer became stiff, slow and uncomfortable, a vet told her he was too old to carry on and that saying goodbye was the kindest option. Sharon could not accept that as the final answer. She threw herself into researching nutrition, mobility support and holistic supplementation, working to understand what Hector’s body still needed. The result was not a miracle. It was better support. And Hector went on to enjoy almost six more years. That experience became the foundation of NutriFlex®: a range of supplements developed with veterinarians and animal nutritionists, made in FSA-certified facilities to human-grade standards and built for pet parents who believe old does not have to mean finished. Today, Hector’s legacy lives on through Monti, another Mini Schnauzer and NutriFlex®’s most demanding product tester. More years. More love.
