Tyson Foods and Kemin open new manufacturing operation

Tyson Foods, Inc. and Kemin Industries, Inc. announced the opening of a new manufacturing operation that is producing pet

food flavour enhancers known as palatants under the Palasurance brand.

The manufacturing initiative is the result of an alliance Tyson and Kemin formed in 2008 to develop, manufacture, market and sell liquid and dry palatants to pet food companies. The goal is to provide cost competitive, high quality pet food palatants from the sourcing of ingredients to the food bowl.

"It is Kemin's strategy of becoming the number one supplier of palatants to the global pet food industry," said Giuseppe

Abrate, President of Kemin's pet food ingredients business.
