At Coevorden/NL, P&G's pet food plant for EMEA, we have testing and food safety programs in place that are at the highest standards and comparable to the best practices in the human food industry. They are in line with EU regulations, in many areas exceeding the expectations in the regulations.

 

Given the fact that salmonella prevention is an industry wide challenge, our constant monitoring on the presence of potentially harmful bacteria and other microorganisms shows a longstanding track record of excellent results.

These results are confirmed by frequent independent testing by the Dutch authorities.

Their randomly taken probations have all been negative on Salmonella since the inception of the plant.

Finished product is also tested for Salmonella before it is shipped to South Africa. Again all tests have always been negative.

Each and every bag of food that leaves our plant in Holland has had over 120 quality and safety checks. For the past 7 years we have subjected our plant to assessment by the AIB (American Institute of Bakers- used to assess safety, hygiene and quality of production in HUMAN food plants). We have received 7 consecutive "Superior" (their highest) ratings from AIB. In 2010 only 8% of all companies assessed received this rating _ This makes our "Pet food plant" superior to 92 % of the human food companies checked For clarity, in the USA, The Procter St Gamble Company (P&G) (NYSE:PG) is voluntarily expanding its recall to include veterinary and some specialized dry pet food as a precautionag( measure because it has the potential to be contaminated with salmonella_ Please note No salmonella-related illnesses have been reported.
