Basically, frozen tuna is defrosted, steam-cooked and cleaned by hand. The white meat is made into products for human consumption while the dark meat is used for pet food. In the pet food section the fish has supplements added in powder form, and is then packaged along with jelly, gravy or other moisture.
Pet food is made to The Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) standards.
See you all next week with updates on how Guido is devising new ways of getting us out of bed in the morning and a word from Au about getting the most out of your survunt.

That is pretty interesting to see how they make the cat food. Never knew any of this. Hope you have a great week.
We hope this means tuna for tea today.

That wasn't so bad. But sometimes things are best left unseen. Like shenanigins in restaurant kitchens and meat packing plants. I know, I'm a whimp with my head in the ground. My cats give the post a dew claw's up!
VERY interesting! Thanks for sharing....
Buster, Sam and Rudy would probably enjoy a tour of that place!! lol Thanks so much for your well wishes on my Etsy shop!
Hugs to all of you,
Cindy, Buster, Rudy and Sam
That was interesting to see the pictures. We will think about that the next time we eat tuna!
Looks like a very interesting tour!! Fish, fish, fish...if my kids joined you, they would go crazy :-)

Vou escrever em portugues para ver se ao fazeres a tradução percebes melhor do que eu escrever a tua lingua
Primeiroobrigado por tre partecipado no meu sortei és o nº27 já te viste?
Segundo por teres vindo votar
Terceiro todos os amiguinhos estão fazendo postagem com a fotografia e poem o nº e pedem aos amigos para virem votar neles ao meu blog
penso que como não és muito conhecido cá no meu pais que deverias fazer a mesma coisa,se não fizeres estás sugeito a não ter nenhum voto o que acho injusto pois a tua ideia de te pores no saco que tem um gato no saco ficou muito giro.é capaz de no teu pais não ser habitual pedir aos amigos para votarem ,mas faz isso cá é costume fazerem e no Brasil,Italia Espanha e por ai fazem isso
Ainda falta 5 dias para acabar a votação muita coisa pode mudar com uma simples postagem...
Ronrons da amiguinha que gosta muito de vocês

You know, CBC's Marketplace did a story on pet food several years ago. Made AAFCO approved food out of old leather and motor oil. Seriously.
It's all rather scary, IMO, no matter what the food or where it's being made!
So nice that they allow tours and photos!! From all that I have read about misleading and misdirection when it comes to food processing, it is nice to see someone so open about it.
I hope they sent home samples :)
Much cleaner than I would have expected a pet food factory to be! Hmmmm....
