The Making of Whiskas Cat Food
As obligate carnivores, cats require a protein-enriched diet. Therefore, ingredients like fish, poultry and beef go into both Whiskas wet cat food and dry cat food.
Wet Cat Food Production
The production of Whiskas wet cat food involves several key steps:
- Ingredient Preparation: High-quality proteins from fish, poultry, and beef are chopped and milled.
- Cooking and Mixing: The mixture is cooked and combined with appealing water-based textures such as jelly and gravy, creating smooth chunks or pâté.
- Packaging: The finished product is packed into convenient pouches, cans, and tins to ensure freshness.
Dry Cat Food Production
For dry food, the protein ingredients are cooked and mixed with vegetables, cereals, vitamins, and minerals in an extruder—a specialized machine that uses high temperature and pressure. This mixture is shaped into kibbles, which expand and harden due to the cooking process, resulting in a crunchy texture. The kibbles are then dried to prevent any microbial growth and finally, packed into bags.
Quality Control Process
Whiskas prioritizes quality, implementing 20 critical control points throughout the production process. These include chemical analyses and full traceability of ingredients, alongside thorough packaging and machinery inspections. This meticulous approach guarantees that every product maintains the highest standards, ensuring that Whiskas remains one of the best cat food choices on the market.
