Updated product leaflet on dried potato and potato flakes

February 04 2026 - News

In today’s pet food market, formulation decisions are increasingly driven by functionality, consistency, and clean-label positioning. For grain-free applications in particular, the choice of starch source plays a critical role in achieving the desired structure and texture during processing. Potato-based ingredients offer reliable performance across a broad range of pet food formats.

Two examples of potato-based ingredients that stand out for their functional properties are: 

– Dried potato: a sustainable ingredient from potato side streams, offering controlled gelatinization and tailored functionality for extruded pet food.

– Potato flakes: a fully gelatinized potato ingredient with strong binding and texturizing properties for a wide range of pet food applications.
