Food you can rest assured for your baby - Royal Canin committed to quality and food safety
Regardless of whether it is a person or a pet, it is necessary to pay special attention to the safety and composition of the food that needs to be consumed. Nowadays, many food businesses ignore the quality of food products for their own profits, which has caused many serious consequences. With countries all over the world paying special attention to food safety issues, Royal Canin not only strictly abides by it, but more importantly, it will also ensure the healthy nutrition and taste of food on the basis of ensuring quality.
Over the last five decades Royal Canin have put nutritional quality and product safety at the heart of their operations worldwide. This attention to the very smallest details helps them deliver the most precise and effective health nutrition for pets.
Quality is the enterprise.

So they only use meat and fish that comes from the human food chain. All efforts are made to source their raw materials from accredited suppliers close to their production centers, this supports the local economy, ensures freshness and reduces their carbon footprint.
Fully traceable ingredients: 100% of incoming raw materials are analyzed, and a sample of each is kept for two years. This ensures they are able to trace every raw material all the way back to its origin, for the full duration of the product's shelf life.
Health is the difference.
Since 1968, Royal Canin have studied the unique health needs of cats and dogs in the minutest of detail. Over that time, they have learnt that the smallest nutritional difference can make a huge difference to pet’s life and health.
Royal Canin say ‘Yes!’ to using corn, grains, wheat gluten and dehydrated meat and by-products to make the best cat food and the best dog food. They do it because years of hard work from their research teams who spend years researching and testing every ingredient to make sure they provide the most precise and effective nutrition for cats and dogs based on breed, size, age, gender, digestion and various health issues. Then they has found that these ingredients – when they are properly processed – are the best source of nutrition for cats or dogs.
Although some pet owners do not understand why their food contain by-products, which people think are not as good as fresh meat. For this question, Royal Canin also have given their answers:
We choose ingredients because we believe they deliver high-quality nutrients that support our customized pet food formulas. Using chicken by-product meal instead of chicken meal, for example, allow Royal Canin to maintain its highly customized nutrient standards while achieving a more secure and sustainable supply.
The nutritional value of food is also an important item for many pet owners. In our offline research and research, when choosing food for their pets, about 49.2% of people will attach great importance to the health of this food, whether it is beneficial to the health of their pets, and whether it can be supplemented for their pets. And they also care about whether it has some necessary elements that can prevent some diseases. Approximately 39.7% of people care about the nutritional value of food. They value the ingredients very much, and they are very concerned about whether pets can get enough nutrition from this food and become more healthy.
Nevertheless, however...
To date, Royal Canin has been recalled three times. The last recall was issued in 2007 during the series of melamine related pet food recalls. In 2007, Royal Canin used rice protein concentrate that was contaminated with melamine. This rice protein concentrate was purchased from a Chinese vegetable protein supplier.
Although this incident occurred a long time ago, it has basically been forgotten by people. But the impact of that incident was very large, almost affecting hundreds or even thousands of pet families. Although the official later announced that they would never use foreign raw materials casually, and all raw materials must be carefully investigated in the future. But many consumers' trust in the Royal Canin brand has been greatly reduced.
I have to say that the Royal Canin brand can have today's performance and reputation, thanks to these catastrophic problems that it has experienced in the past. It was the exposure of these issues that made the Royal Canin Family more vigilant about food safety and quality, and repeated inspections and regulations have led to today's Royal Canin brand - for those who own pets, Royal Canin food is a must.
