New! GFMT article: Recycling surplus factory food into quality animal feeds


Paul Featherstone, group director, SugaRich, United Kingdom tells GFMT about converting food waste into animal feed.

When food is manufactured, a number of by-products are created and a proportion of the finished product can’t be placed on the market for consumption by humans. This can be for a variety of reasons such as packaging defects, or for technological reasons such as the wrong size or weight biscuits, over-baking, trial runs or over ordering and out of date stock.
Many of these former foodstuffs, including biscuits, bread, breakfast cereals, grain products, crisps and confectionery can have a very high nutritional value – being a source of high quality fats, sugar and carbohydrates. After checking their safety and traceability and therefore suitability, SugaRich converts them into high quality ingredients for use in animal feed, avoiding waste from food that is not destined for human consumption.
After processing, the foods are blended to the required feed formulation, then sieved and ground to create a free flowing meal.  Finished feed is delivered direct to the compounder, blender or farms.
