Protein-Forward
Protein-forward whitefish ingredients designed to support formulation goals across a wide range of pet nutrition applications.
Palatability
Fish-based ingredient streams developed for evaluation in applications where taste, texture, and acceptance matter.

Purpose-Built Ingredient Streams
No two formulations are alike.
Our six distinct whitefish ingredient streams are developed for specific formulation, nutritional, and commercial requirements. From whole fish platforms to secondary and specialty ingredients, every stream is designed to help you match the right ingredient to the right application.
Our whitefish comes from silver carp — naturally abundant in American waterways, and a responsible sourcing story you can put in front of your customers.

Whole Fish Platform
Headed, Gutted, Tailed (HGT)
A defined whole-fish whitefish ingredient with the head, internal organs, and tail removed. HGT offers a consistent, versatile format for fresh, frozen, gently cooked, freeze-dried, air-dried, treat, and topper applications.
Head-On Gutted (HOG)
A whole-fish ingredient with the head retained and internal organs removed. HOG supports applications where fuller resource utilization and the nutritional contribution of the head are a fit for the formulation.
Secondary Streams
Ground Filet
A muscle-forward ground whitefish ingredient designed for applications where protein contribution, texture, and palatability are priorities. It can be evaluated for fresh, frozen, wet, treat, topper, and specialty pet nutrition formats.
Ground Whitefish Heads (GWH)
A specialized upcycled ingredient made from ground whitefish heads. GWH offers a distinct nutritional profile for formulations where full-resource utilization, functionality, and cost-in-use are important.
Specialty Ingredients
Ground Whitefish Ingredient (GWI)
A ground whitefish stream developed as a practical, cost-conscious ingredient for pet nutrition. Its balanced composition makes it suitable for a range of fresh, frozen, wet, and blended formulations.
Roe
A specialty whitefish ingredient for targeted nutrition and differentiated product development. Roe may support omega-forward formulations, premium inclusions, treats, toppers, and other specialized applications where product-specific nutritional data supports the use.
