Safer pet food with blue light: Kennelpakaste’s commitment to hygiene and quality

Kennelpakaste Oy is a leading Finnish producer of natural raw food for dogs and cats. In their facility in Ikaalinen, they produce high quality, additive free raw meat products that are ground and flash frozen to preserve optimal nutrition. For more than four decades, the company has built its reputation on purity, safety, and responsible manufacturing – values that matter deeply to pet owners who want clean, trustworthy food for their animals.

A proactive approach to hygiene management

Producing raw pet food requires exceptionally strict hygiene control. To protect product safety and maintain consistent quality, Kennelpakaste set out to proactively strengthen hygiene management in their production areas by installing automated and continuous disinfection with Spectral Blue MWHI® blue light system. The system helps ensure stable cleanliness throughout the workday, reduces reliance on chemical disinfectants, and adds an automated layer of protection that helps staff maintain a consistently hygienic environment.

Implementing antimicrobial blue light-based preventative hygiene support

The Spectral Blue system operates during the night, providing a continuous disinfection effect without interrupting workflow. They selected the chemical-free Spectral Blue MWHI® system because it:

• Supports continuous preventative hygiene
• Is safe for people, animals, and food environments
• Is residue-free and doesn’t affect the products
• Helps reduce reliance on chemical disinfectants
  
• Integrates easily into existing facilities and processes

As the Kennelpakaste production team explains: “Spectral Blue keeps our production environment hygienic and helps us maintain the high quality our customers expect.” 
For pet owners and retailers, these improvements mean safer pet food products.

Elevating hygiene and quality standards with automation

Kennelpakaste’s experience shows how continuous antimicrobial blue light hygiene support can elevate hygiene standards in raw pet food manufacturing. By combining traditional cleaning with automated preventative light-based disinfection, the company strengthens product safety, enhances customer trust, and reinforces its commitment to delivering clean, natural, and safe nutrition for pets.
