With increased conversations around the H5N1 Bird Flu virus, we wanted to provide additional information about our commitment to the safety and quality of our MIND BODY BOWL Munchers.
Prior to these recent incidents, our manufacturer has gone to great lengths to ensure the safety and quality of the food we are offering to our most precious family members. Every ingredient undergoes a rigorous approval process that includes 3rd Party GFSI Certifications, HACCP control documents and must have full supplier disclosure regarding the safety of their materials.
Here are some additional steps taken to protect pets and parents:
- Our poultry suppliers are part of the National Poultry Improvement Plan, which is collaborative program involving poultry industry, state and federal authorities that aims to monitor and stop the spread of dangerous diseases like the avian flu in captive birds, especially those raised for food.
- Birds are regularly tested for avian influenza, and any flocks with positive birds - even if there are only a few - are euthanized to further prevent spread of the disease.
- Birds are housed in open enclosures to prevent exposure to disease from wild birds and to limit possible transmission between captive flocks.
- Only healthy birds that test negative prior to processing are being used for consumption.
- Our suppliers have implemented enhanced biosecurity measures, including PPE for personnel that come into contact with birds, limiting personnel onsite, and detailed procedures minimizing risks for vehicles that enter the property.
As we learn more about the virus, our supplier will continue to evolve processes to ensure that safety and quality remains the highest priority. Should you have any additional questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to email help@healthyspot.com.
