Storage

Keep frozen until ready to thaw. Thaw before feeding. Avoid re-freezing. Place the portion in a container and thaw in the fridge. To speed up, stand it in a sink of lukewarm water for 15–30 minutes, ensuring not to cook. No preservatives: once thawed, use within 2–3 days. Keep thawed portions in a sealed airtight container in the fridge. Discard if the food no longer looks or smells fresh. Do not cook — product storage states the recipe contains bone (raw bone powder). Wash utensils, work areas and hands with warm soapy water after contact with raw food. PET FOOD ONLY — not for human consumption. Contains raw offal and bone powder.
