Trader Joe’s Dog Food Pros:
Trader Joe’s is a very convenient dog food to feed your furry friend. They have stores dotted around the country, so if you are in need of dog food ASAP, you can head over to your local store ad stock up.
In a recent announcement, the company discontinued its Ocean Fish, Salmon & Rice Dinner Premium Cat Food; Turkey & Giblets Dinner Premium Cat Food; Grain Free Salmon Recipe Cat Food; Grain Free Turkey Recipe Cat Food; Grain Free Beef Recipe Dog Food; and Grain Free Chicken Recipe Dog Food.
As ingredients become scarce, packaging becomes limited and the labor shortage continues, pet food processors, distributors and retailers have all witnessed a lack of supply. And skyrocketing demand only heightens the issue.
But, until Congress agrees to ratify the America COMPETES Act, the entire manufacturing industry, along with pet food, will only continue to try and overcome today’s unstable supply chain.
To provide some stability to the ever-changing supply chain, which COVID-19 and the crisis in Ukraine have only exacerbated, the American Feed Industry Association (AFIA) and the Pet Advocacy Network, along with more than 130 manufacturing organizations, signed a letter urging Congress to ratify the America COMPETES Act. The ratification would help bolster manufacturers throughout a variety of industries and provide some financial assistance to help them overcome continued supply disruptions.
In Pet Food Processing’s March edition, several pet food experts provided guidance on how pet food companies can navigate the supply chain.
