Bond Pet Foods and Hill's Pet Nutrition announced that Bond has received a US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Centre for Veterinary Medicine Letter of No Objection for its Lamb Protein Yeast ingredient.
Developed in collaboration after completing a six-month longitudinal feeding study in dogs, FDA's review and no objection to the Generally Recognised as Safe (GRAS) Notice marks a major milestone toward commercialisation of a new source of high-quality animal protein for pet food.
Lamb Protein Yeast is the first ingredient to emerge from the collaboration to successfully complete FDA's GRAS Notice review process for healthy adult dogs, supporting use at inclusion levels of up to 15% of the finished food. This achievement follows several years of joint development applying precision fermentation—a proven technology long used to produce human food ingredients for cheesemaking, as well as enzymes and vitamins—to develop a carefully-selected animal protein ingredient with a complete amino acid profile that includes nutritional characteristics comparable to a traditional lamb protein.
Rich Kelleman, founder and CEO, Bond Pet Foods, said, "We are thrilled to achieve this important regulatory milestone with Hill's. The results of our six-month feeding study, together with the FDA's Letter of No Objection, demonstrate the safety and nutritional performance of our brewed proteins and bring us a significant step closer to delivering a reliable source of high-quality protein for pets."
Dave Baloga, executive vice president, Science and Technology, Hill's Pet Nutrition, said, "This achievement underscores our long-standing commitment to science-led innovation in pet nutrition. Lamb Protein Yeast expands the range of science-backed nutritional options we can deliver, supporting our sustainability objectives while maintaining the rigorous nutritional standards for which Hill's is known."
