Description
What it is. This category covers products and coproducts from the manufacture of salted snacks: potato chips, potato and/or cereal-based snack products (directly extruded, dough-based or agglomerated) and salted nuts. It originates from food industry processing lines producing savory snack foods.
What it is for. This feed material is generally used as an energy source in animal feed, owing to its fat content derived from frying or seasoning processes. It would typically be incorporated in formulations for species tolerant to variable fat levels, subject to quality control of each batch. Use should take into account the heterogeneous nature of the coproduct, which may include potato, cereal or nut-based fractions.
Points to watch. Fat content must be declared since it is a mandatory constituent and can vary significantly between batches depending on the frying/seasoning process used. Salt level is not specified in the official description but should be checked given the source material, and traceability of origin (potato, cereal, nuts) should be confirmed. Storage conditions should limit fat oxidation and rancidity typical of fried products.
