Are the fresh packs in Smallbatch pet food safe?Updated 2 months ago

Yes — the fresh packs included in our shelf-stable foods and treats are oxygen absorbers made from silica and iron powder. They're there to absorb moisture and extend shelf life.

If your pet eats a fresh pack: These packets are FDA-approved for use with food products and are not toxic. Monitor your pet for 48 hours for any signs of an allergic reaction. If you notice any symptoms, contact your vet. If your pet seems fine, make sure they have plenty of water — the packets can cause thirst. In most cases, pets experience no symptoms at all.
