In a conducted study, Dogs & Cats preferred Enterprise Food Products’ Caramelized Sugar as a Palatant in their food vs. traditional Caramel Color. Our Caramelized Sugar syrups & powders are all natural, clean label, and contain Zero 4-MEI.
More and more Pet Food manufacturers are choosing Caramelized Sugar for palatability and incidental color—not just for a cleaner label, but for two critical reasons. First, Caramelized Sugar does not contain 4‑MEI which is classified as a carcinogen under California Prop 65 and restricted in the European Union. Second, studies show that dogs and cats actually prefer the taste of pet food made with Caramelized Sugar due to its naturally enhanced palatability. As more brands prioritize both pet safety and mealtime enjoyment, Caramelized Sugar is quickly becoming the new standard in premium pet food formulations.
