Although it has its detractors, the Food and Drug Administration is critical to guarding the safety of our food products and medications, among other things.  What many people don't realize is that the FDA is responsible for regulating food packaging to guarantee its safety as well. 

Food packaging manufacturers are required to ensure that the packages they produce do not, either by virtue of their raw materials or as a result of combination with some ingredient or chemical in the food product, render the food contents unsafe.  While this may be obvious, people do not likely consider it an issue for anything other than food for humans.  Surprising to many, pet food requires the same level of protection. 

Pet food production is regulated by the Food and Drug Administration's Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM).  No matter how safe the food is, however, consumers will only be satisfied if they know the packaging that contains the food for their household pets is equally safe. 

A type of pet food packaging that is FDA approved is stand bags.  Also known as stand up pouches, stand up bags and custom printed stand bags, stand up pouches are constructed from laminating together layers of FDA approved and food grade materials that are colored using water-based, non-leaching inks.  Pet owners will take comfort in knowing that they have no cause for concern  about contamination.  The materials are completely safe, compliant with all standards of the food packaging industry.  The non-leaching ink will guard against contamination and spoilage, thereby ensuring longer shelf life of the product. 

Stand bag pet food packaging protects pet food from vapor, odor, moisture and pests.  It is durable and puncture resistant so not only is it safe packaging for pet food, it protects your products perhaps better than any other type of packaging available.
