What safety protocols does Smallbatch use to ensure pet food quality?Updated 2 months ago

Yes — we have rigorous procedures in place to make sure every product is safe for both pets and the people in their lives.

It starts with sourcing. Our suppliers and production partners are committed to delivering the highest quality ingredients while adhering to GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) standards and all applicable state and federal food safety regulations.

From there, we operate a strict test-and-hold protocol — every batch is tested before it's released. We pull multiple samples throughout various phases of production and send them for pathogen testing. Nothing ships until those results come back clean. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy for harmful pathogens across all of our products.

All production partners also follow strict sanitation procedures between batches to minimize the risk of cross-contamination. Exact protocols vary by product and facility to ensure each practice is tailored to that product's specific handling needs.
