13 of 84 dried-meat dog treats bought in the UK carried Salmonella; air- and freeze-dried treats had no cooking step.
Dried and freeze-dried treats get a separate, validated pathogen control.
One study found Salmonella in 26.2% and Listeria monocytogenes in 19% of raw diets, and in none of the extruded diets tested.
Pathogen testing of every raw and minimally processed batch, plus kill-step validation where a step exists.

Every project at Guires Pet Nutrition Lab runs inside an ISO 9001:2015 certified quality system and FSSAI-licensed operations, with documented methods, calibrated instruments, traceable raw materials and reviewed reports — so the results behind your product can be checked and defended.
Tell us the pet, the product and the market — we will come back with a development route.
Every Guires PNL product is formulated to comply with the FEDIAF Nutritional Guidelines and the AAFCO Dog and Cat Food Nutrient Profiles. Neither body issues certificates to manufacturers, so compliance is verified independently against their published standards — and every product comes with a complete documentation package for regulatory submissions in the EU, US, Australia and Asian markets.
