Freeze Dried
If you need food in an emergency situation, freeze-dried foods are an excellent solution. Not only are they easily transportable without needing refrigeration but their shelf life far outstrips that of fresh foods.
Freeze-drying (also known as lyophilization) involves freezing food in a vacuum chamber to extract almost all of its moisture before sealing it for long-term storage. This process helps eliminate bacteria and other potentially harmful organisms while providing excellent long-term storage solutions.
Primal Pet Foods uses a gentle freeze-drying process to preserve the nutritional value of whole food ingredients. Their freeze dried formulas offer a convenient and healthy alternative to raw diets in case of emergency, or can serve as complete and balanced diet for regular feedings. Their freeze dried raw food pieces come pressed into nugget shaped pieces for easier rehydration using either water or goat’s milk for maximum nutrition absorption.
