HPP ProcessUpdated 7 days ago
At We Feed Raw, food safety is our top priority. That’s why we use high-pressure processing (HPP)—a USDA-recognized, 100% natural, non-thermal technology that neutralizes harmful pathogens like Listeria, E. coli, and Salmonella without the use of heat, chemicals, or preservatives. Instead, HPP uses ultra-high water pressure to help ensure the safety of our food while maintaining the integrity of the raw nutrients.While dogs and cats have digestive systems designed to handle bacteria differently than humans, HPP provides an extra layer of protection, giving pet owners peace of mind when feeding raw at home. Unlike traditional pasteurization methods, HPP does not expose food to high temperatures that would degrade proteins, vitamins, or enzymes. Research shows that beneficial probiotics, including species of lactic acid bacteria, withstand high pressure, allowing raw food to retain its natural benefits.There is a common misconception that HPP "sterilizes" meat, but this is not the case. Our food remains 100% raw because it is never cooked or chemically altered. The process simply reduces the presence of harmful bacteria while preserving the quality and safety of the food.At We Feed Raw, we hold ourselves to the highest standards. Our meals are made from USDA meats with no fillers, preservatives, artificial flavors, or colors. Our Frozen lamb and venison come from pasture-raised, grass-fed, and grass-finished sources in New Zealand, while all other proteins are sourced from trusted farms in the USA. We believe that safety and quality should never be compromised. That’s why we invest in HPP—to deliver nutritionally superior raw meals with the highest level of safety for both pets and their owners.
