The Danish Vital Petfood Group has joined a very limited group of pet food companies in Europe achieving ISO 22000 accreditation. "The best was that the auditors complimented all staff members on the high commitment shown during the past nine months," said Paul van der Raad, COO of Vital Petfood Group. For more than ten years the products have been produced according to the principles of the Danish HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points) standard DS 3027, one of the strictest of its kind in the world.
