Magnusson Petfood has been certified as complying with the IP food standard for food safety since January and thus becomes the first Swedish pet food manufacturer to avail themselves of the food standards. The company, which is based in Bro, roughly 50 kilometres north of Stockholm, has been manufacturing baked pet food for more than twenty years using exclusively Swedish regional raw ingredients.
Magnusson Petfood reports that it has now succeeded in obtaining the certificate with a programme for production, hygiene, documentation and traceability of the raw materials. Sigill Kvalitetssystem AB monitors adherence to EU directives and Swedish laws in the plants certified according to IP Food. It was also confirmed as part of the audit process that the products of Magnusson Petfood AB and their ingredients are free of glyphosate and its breakdown products.
