Direct from China's primary pet nutrition manufacturing facilities. Human-grade sourcing with verified microbiological safety profiles.
Located in the strategic port region of Rizhao, Shandong Province, GAGA Pet Food Co., Ltd. is a premier manufacturing enterprise specializing in high-end freeze-dried pet food systems. Armed with more than ten years of research, development, and high-volume industrial processing, we serve as the primary supply chain backbone for top-tier pet nutrition brands worldwide.
Our central focus resides in structural food science—taking raw poultry, meats, and seafood and utilizing low-temperature vacuum sublimation (freeze-drying) to yield biologically appropriate pet foods. By locating our operations in Shandong, the epicenter of China's agricultural and poultry export zone, we secure direct access to fresh, zero-hormone poultry. Our supply chain matches raw-meat performance indicators with clean-label, human-grade compliance matrices.

Understanding the parameters of scale, thermodynamic stability, and microbiological safety in raw meat processing.
Raw chicken breast (pectoralis major) is blast-frozen at temperatures reaching -35°C to -40°C. This flash-freezing prevents the formation of large, jagged extracellular ice crystals, thereby preserving the cellular structure, natural moisture pathways, and texture of the chicken fibers upon rehydration.
Under deep vacuum (20-40 Pa chamber pressure), the temperature is modulated carefully. Ice crystals sublime directly into vapor without entering a liquid state. This phase extracts roughly 90% of the raw meat's moisture content, keeping the protein matrix intact and nutrient levels pristine.
Bound water molecules are driven off by elevating temperatures to a controlled +40°C while maintaining deep vacuum. The targeted parameter is Moisture Content ≤ 3% and Water Activity (aw) < 0.25, preventing microbial activity and guaranteeing long-term shelf-stability.
Because freeze-drying operates at low temperatures, it does not act as a heat-sterilization process. Consequently, pathogenic bacteria such as Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes, and Escherichia coli could theoretically survive if not systematically controlled.
GAGA Pet Food employs a multi-barrier food safety strategy. We offer High-Pressure Processing (HPP) as an upfront step, exposing the raw poultry raw materials to hydrostatic pressures up to 600 MPa (6,000 bar). This physical disruption renders pathogens inactive while retaining the vital enzymes, vitamins, amino acids, and taste profile characteristic of raw diets.
An analysis of import requirements, bulk supply stability, and commercial logistics for international brands.
In the current global economic landscape, B2B buyers of freeze-dried raw chicken face persistent supply chain friction: inconsistent protein density, volatile shipping schedules, changing import protocols, and lack of manufacturer transparency.
GAGA Pet Food resolves these bottlenecks by operating as a dedicated contract-manufacturer. We do not build or promote our own retail brands. This strategic choice eliminates any channel conflict with our buyers, ensuring all technical efforts, R&D innovations, and capacity allocations are directed entirely toward supporting our clients' brands.
Through high-capacity machinery yielding 4,000kg of finished product daily, we absorb spikes in volume demands from major retail chains in North America, South Korea, Japan, and Southeast Asia.
By locking in annual poultry contracts with regional Shandong feed operations, we hedge against raw meat price fluctuations, offering predictable cost-per-kilogram rates for our OEM clients.
Proximity to Rizhao Port and Qingdao Port means streamlined ocean container shipping. Cold-chain inland logistics keep raw ingredients pristine prior to processing.
We pack bulk and retail shipments in multilayer metalized film pouches with active oxygen scavengers, protecting product integrity across long sea transits.
Exploring GAGA's core pet food products designed to meet diverse global market tastes.
100% pure chicken breast meat, cut to standard 1cm cubes or customized fractions. High protein density with minimal crumbling.
Naturally hypoallergenic duck breast meat. Ideal for pets with sensitive skin or digestive issues.
Sourced from sustainable cold-water fisheries. Rich in Omega-3 fatty acids for skin and coat maintenance.
Nutrient-dense peas, carrots, and sweet potato cubes processed to retain dietary fiber and natural vitamins.
From raw formula validation to shelf-ready packaging, GAGA provides complete end-to-end support for pet food brands.
Whether you are a startup launching a single-protein treat line or a mature pet store chain requiring hundreds of metric tons of raw-diet formulas, we calibrate our services to match your commercial parameters. All raw materials used are human-grade, aligned with our guiding principle: "Natural, Healthy, Delicious".
Ensuring consistent quality from initial formulation to international distribution.
Our technical team reviews your raw material specs, target price points, and target markets to design an optimal processing plan.
We formulate custom product blends by incorporating target lipids, dietary fibers, or functional additives (e.g. prebiotics for gut health).
We source, size, and verify high-barrier packaging options to ensure long shelf life and eye-catching store presence.
We deliver physical product samples in as little as 10 days, allowing you to test palatability and structural integrity beforehand.
Upon sample approval, we initiate large-scale freeze-drying across our 6 advanced vacuum lines under strict batch monitoring.
We run lab tests for water activity, moisture levels, heavy metals, and key pathogens to ensure full compliance with FDA and regional standards.
Finished goods are heat-sealed in durable shipper cartons and stacked securely on export pallets to prevent transport damage.
We handle export customs clearance and dispatch shipments via ocean, rail, or air to your distribution centers worldwide.
Meeting strict food safety compliance and customs clearance criteria for major global markets.
International exports of raw pet diets require rigorous safety documentation and facility registration. GAGA Pet Food is registered with the FDA, and our facilities operate in strict compliance with HACCP and ISO 22000 food safety systems.
This documentation ensures smooth customs clearance at major international hubs in North America, Europe, South Korea, and Southeast Asia. We provide full health certificates, origin declarations, and lab test reports with every single shipment.
Versatile applications for dogs, cats, and exotic animals across raw diets and treats.
Freeze-dried raw chicken is highly versatile and fits seamlessly into different feeding styles. Our products are designed for three primary applications:
Addressing key concerns regarding manufacturing capacity, customization options, and global trade compliance.
For standard freeze-dried chicken cubes or single-ingredient items, our starting MOQs are highly flexible, particularly for initial container loads or mixed pallets. For custom formulas requiring custom nutritional blending, shaping, or specialty packaging, MOQs generally start at 500 kg to 1,000 kg depending on raw ingredient complexity. Contact our B2B team for detailed pricing tiers.
We source all fresh poultry from local Shandong farms that are fully registered with the entry-exit inspection bureau. Post-freeze-drying, every single production run undergoes third-party lab testing for pathogens, including Salmonella, E. coli, and Listeria. We also offer inline High-Pressure Processing (HPP) to guarantee total safety without compromising nutritional structure.
As a professional export-oriented manufacturer, GAGA is registered with the US FDA. We also operate in compliance with HACCP and ISO 22000 standards. We provide Veterinary Health Certificates, Certificates of Origin, and complete Laboratory Analytical Reports to ensure smooth clearance at destination ports.
Yes. Our processing lines are highly customizable. We can produce standard cubes, custom strips, fine powders, or round patties/disks. We also specialize in compounding meat with beneficial functional ingredients, such as cat grass, goat milk, egg yolk, pumpkin, and regional berries.
Freeze-drying operates below freezing temperatures via sublimation, avoiding the heat damage associated with traditional air-drying or extrusion. This process retains virtually all heat-sensitive vitamins, minerals, active enzymes, and natural proteins in their original biochemical structure. Additionally, it offers quick rehydration and a porous texture that pets find highly palatable.
From single-ingredient meats to custom functional treats—designed to help your brand stand out in the marketplace.
