Additional Notes (Customized Services and Export Compliance ) | • OEM/ODM One-Stop Service : We select premium seafood ingredients from pristine waters (domestic catch or traceable imported), controlling the entire process from raw material inspection, deboning, drying curve setting to finished product packaging. We are particularly skilled at designing small-sized, highly palatable seafood treats (such as cod flakes and dried shrimp crumbs) for the cat market. • Export Compliance : Special attention must be paid to the destination country's requirements for labeling heavy metals, histamine, and allergens in marine- derived raw materials for dried seafood products. We can provide test reports for heavy metals (mercury, lead, cadmium) and histamine for each batch. For the EU, we can assist with completing traceability documentation for fishery products. • Applicable Scenarios and Selling Points : Cats have a natural preference for seafood, making this product suitable for picky eaters, medication assistance, and daily rewards. Rich in taurine, it can supplement insufficient staple foods; mussels /clams are natural joint-protecting treats; whole small fish provide calcium and have teeth-cleaning properties. For dogs, we recommend deboned products (such as cod chunks and dried shrimp). |
