Autarky products are manufactured using a fixed recipe, which ensures quality and consistency in every batch. They only contain raw materials, which are sourced from non-genetically modified origins, using locally sourced ingredients wherever possible. In addition, they contain the parts of the chicken carcass, which are nutritionally beneficial to the animal; for instance, no feathers are included. All chicken used in Autarky recipes is of human grade and contain a blend of mixed tocopherols, vitamin C and rosemary extract, natural antioxidants which help to maintain the stability of the food. Autarky products are made in the UK in a dedicated medication-free pet food plant, controlled under ISO and HACCP systems.
ISO
All Autarky products are manufactured in accordance with the rules of the quality assurance scheme ISO 9001:2000. The procedures followed ensure traceability of each ingredient, in some cases back to the field in which it was grown, essential when requiring the highest quality ingredients. In addition to this, ISO 9001:2000 ensures all daily routines have the strictest of quality control systems, from the delivery of raw ingredients through the computer controlled blending of those raw ingredients; the extrusion process which cooks the raw ingredients, to the laboratory that tests every cooked batch, before giving authorisation for the food to be bagged and palletised.
