Pet food

Cheese is becoming a popular addition to pet food thanks to its stronger flavours and aroma, and a higher fat content. Pet owners today want to ensure they are giving their pet the best food possible and are often willing to pay a premium for products that contain quality ingredients - such as cheese.

Organic, Gluten-Free & Cleaner Labelling
Based on the natural cheeses Lactosan Cheese Powders are very suitable as quality and clean-label ingredients with a high level of food safety and traceability. Besides our broad range of standard cheese powders like Cheddar and Cream Cheese, we also have a range of PDO cheese powders as well as organic and gluten-free cheese powders.
