Enjoy this collection of patents granted by the US Patent and Trademark Office to inventors of equipment, ingredients and processes related to the pet food and treat industry.

Edible, retrievable, hemp-based treat

This flavored or unflavored pet chew is made from hemp-based products
and by-products and constructed to last for one to two days. The outer shell
of the treat is designed to look like natural tree bark, including pine, cypress,
redwood and oak. The treat is formulated with cannabinoid-cased supplements to provide health benefits or pain relief for the pet.
US Patent No. 10,045,515 (Aug. 14, 2018), J. Cooper, assigned to
Jeffrey T. Cooper, Orlando, FL.

Method for detecting microorganisms in food samples
and facilities

These procedures can be used to efficiently identify microorganisms in food
samples. The methods can help pinpoint pathogenic organisms, such as
Salmonella, Campylobacteriosis, Listeria and Escherichia genera, as well
as non-pathogenic organisms.
US Patent No. 10,101,328 (Oct. 16, 2018), S. Amini et al., assigned to
Clear Labs, Inc., Menlo Park, CA.

Product-cooling apparatuses

This cooling mechanism used for pet food products requires less maintenance and cleaning than conventional coolers and is capable of handling
coated pet food and other particulates without contamination issues.
US Patent No. 10,119,743 (Nov. 6, 2018), D. Amsinger et al., assigned to
Nestec S.A., Vevey, Switzerland.

Palatability enhancer with antimicrobial properties

In this functional flavor enhancer, organic acids act not only to improve palatability but also inhibit the growth of microorganisms, such as Salmonella. They can be applied to dry pet food to provide their antimicrobial efficacy and improve taste.
US Patent No. 10,070,660 (Sept. 11, 2018), M. Burke et al., assigned to Kemin Industries, Inc., Des Moines, IA.

Thickening component

These compositions include meat-based material or by-products and an aqueous phase, in which a waxy cassava starch is
used to thicken the material. It can be used to produce a gravy for pet food formulas.
US Patent No. 10,143,220 (Dec. 4, 2018), D. J. Hanchett et al., assigned to Corn Products Development, Inc.,
Sao Paulo, Brazil.
