Located in the coastal logistics hub of Rizhao, Shandong Province, GAGA Pet Food Co., Ltd. is a professional manufacturer specializing in high-quality freeze-dried pet food. With more than ten years of dedicated experience in research and development, production, and global sales, we have built a reputation for industry-leading quality control and production consistency.
For over a decade, our efforts have centered on creating premium lyophilized products that satisfy the highest international standards of nutrition, safety, and palatability. We exclusively cater to B2B clients, including global pet brands, distributors, and private label importers, serving as a silent manufacturing backbone that protects brand intellectual property and guarantees top-tier product output.
In the global pet treat industry, organ-based treats—specifically dried beef and chicken liver—represent one of the fastest-growing market segments. As "pet humanization" accelerates worldwide, pet owners are actively seeking clean-label, single-ingredient treats that offer functional nutritional density. This shift has placed traditional high-temperature air-dried treats at a disadvantage. Conventional heat dehydration degrades vital, heat-sensitive micronutrients such as Vitamin A, Vitamin B12, copper, iron, and active enzymes.
Lyophilization (Freeze-Drying) Technology resolves this nutritional compromise. By sublimating moisture directly from ice to vapor under low-temperature vacuum conditions, freeze-dried liver treats preserve the cellular structure, natural aroma, and complete nutrient profile of fresh raw organs. As a global manufacturer, GAGA Pet Food provides scalable B2B solutions to navigate this technological transition, allowing pet brands to transition their portfolios from traditional dehydrated products to premium, clean-label freeze-dried liver treats.
By operating six high-capacity industrial freeze-drying lines, we lower overhead costs per unit, enabling brand partners to enjoy competitive margins in the premium pet retail sector.
Leveraging strict temperature controls and high-vacuum environmental parameter management, we eliminate pathogens without the use of chemical preservatives or high-heat processing.
Our location in Rizhao, Shandong provides access to domestic livestock farming networks, ensuring a steady supply of fresh, traceable raw organs even during global shipping disruptions.
The B2B sourcing of animal-origin pet treats is subject to strict customs controls, quarantine checks, and regulatory frameworks. For importers in North America, Europe, and developed Asian economies, supply chain compliance is non-negotiable. GAGA Pet Food maintains a compliant manufacturing infrastructure that aligns with international regulatory expectations.
We are fully registered with the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), facilitating smooth import clearance under FSMA standards. In addition, our manufacturing facilities adhere to strict HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) and ISO 22000 food safety protocols. Our raw materials are sourced exclusively from GACC-registered slaughterhouses, ensuring traceability from farm to finished product.

The production of freeze-dried beef or chicken liver treats requires careful thermal and atmospheric control. At GAGA Pet Food, our freeze-drying cycle is optimized to ensure consistent moisture levels without compromising the natural nutritional structure of the liver. The process relies on primary sublimation and secondary desorption drying phases, which are monitored by our technical experts.
| Processing Parameter | Technical Standard | Quality Objective |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-Freezing Core Temperature | -38°C to -45°C | Rapid ice crystallization to preserve cellular walls and organoleptic quality. |
| Sublimation Vacuum Pressure | 0.08 mbar to 0.15 mbar | Enables direct solid-to-gas water transition without passing through a liquid state. |
| Primary Shelf Heat Curve | Graduated from -20°C up to +35°C | Controlled heating to prevent collapse of the product structure. |
| Target Water Activity (aw) | Below 0.05 (aw < 0.6 required) | Prevents microbial reproduction and bacterial activity. |
| Residual Moisture Content | < 3.0% to 5.0% | Ensures a long shelf-life of 18-24 months under nitrogen-flushed packaging. |
| Palatability Retention | 100% Natural Aroma Preserved | Retains structural integrity and natural liver taste. |
