🧬 Let’s talk about food safety in raw feeding…
We get this question a lot—“What about bacteria in raw food?”
One of the ways high-quality raw food (like Albright’s) addresses this is through something called bacteriophages (or “phages” for short).
👉 Phages are naturally occurring, beneficial viruses that specifically target and eliminate harmful bacteria like salmonella and listeria—without affecting the nutritional value of the food.
That means:
✔️ No chemicals
✔️ No cooking away nutrients
✔️ Just targeted, natural pathogen control
They’re actually found everywhere in nature (including the foods we eat and water we drink), and they’ve been widely used in the human food industry for years.
Even better—these phages are applied in a way that helps reduce harmful bacteria by 99%+, while keeping the food as close to its natural, raw state as possible.
We included these slides to help break it down and answer some of the most common questions we get 👇
If you’ve ever been hesitant about raw feeding because of safety concerns, this is a big piece of the puzzle.
As always, feel free to reach out with questions—we’re happy to talk through it with you 💬
