Additional Notes (Customized Services and Export Compliance ) | • OEM/ODM One-Stop Service : With years of experience exporting dried snacks, we can design shapes, textures, and packaging tailored to the preferences of our target markets (e.g., the US market prefers large, economical packs and whole pieces of jerky; the European market prefers organic ingredients and eco-friendly packaging; the Japanese market prefers small packages and thinly sliced meat). • Export Compliance : Dried meat products require attention to the destination port's requirements for "heat treatment" and "moisture activity." We use a low-temperature drying process, achieving a moisture activity ≤0.85, meeting the standards for room-temperature pet snacks in most countries. We can assist with FDA anti-terrorism registration and EU TRACES documentation. • Suitable Scenarios and Selling Points : Suitable as an interactive treat for daily teeth cleaning, dental hygiene, and passing the time. Recommended for dogs needing help cleaning tartar, and as a high-value reward for positive reinforcement training. For cats, we recommend cutting into smaller, thinner pieces, or using small strips of fish/chicken. |
