UK Pet Food invites veterinary professionals to an informative panel discussion on pet food processing, exploring its impact on nutrition, safety, and sustainability. Titled “Processed with Purpose: Unpacking the Pet Food Debate,” this event will also explore the truths and misconceptions around terms like “processed” and “ultra-processed”, addressing comparisons with human food processing.
