APPI Programs for Safe Pet Food and Animal Feed
Salmonella Education Reduction Program
Members of Animal Protein Producers Industry (APPI) participate in a coordinated program for process control verification testing that will ultimately assist in the control of pathogens and other organisms in rendered animal proteins.
Over 95% of animal proteins produced in North America are manufactured at facilities that participate in APPI’s Salmonella Education Reduction Program.

Clostridium Perfringens Testing
APPI’s Board of Directors passed a recommendation of the 21st Century Committee to initiate a voluntary program of Clostridium perfringens testing. This is a sensible progression that permits companies to assess the prevalence of the two major indicator organisms at their facilities.
Clostridium perfringens was chosen due to it requiring time/temperature conditions to be eliminated. This program will evaluate in-house process controls.
Please contact APPI if you are interested in receiving sampling/labeling instructions.
