Clasado joins UK Pet Food association

BERKSHIRE, UNITED KINGDOM — Clasado Biosciences, a developer of prebiotic ingredients and solutions for the gut microbiome, has joined UK Pet Food association, further expanding its position in the companion animal health and nutrition sector. This membership follows Clasado’s recent inclusion in other key industry bodies in animal nutrition, such as the British Association of Feed Supplement and Additive Manufacturers (BAFSAM) and the National Animal Supplement Council (NASC).

With a mission of advancing pet health and wellbeing through high-quality and sustainable nutrition, UK Pet Food plays a key role in guiding industry best practices, shaping policy sand legislation, and supporting pet food and supplement manufacturers. As part of the association’s membership network, Clasado’s goal is to support the growing interest in prebiotics for pet health and nutrition.

“Joining UK Pet Food is a natural progression for us as we continue to build our footprint in companion animal health,” said Luciw Nagy, general counsel for Clasado. “The organization plays an important role in promoting transparency, standards and evidence-based guidance across the UK pet food and supplement industry. We look forward to contributing to its work through the lens of microbiome science and regulatory insight, supporting shared goals around pet health, nutrition and sustainability.”

Backed by 125 scientific publications and more than 20 clinical trials across human and animal health, Clasado’s prebiotic ingredient Bimuno® GOS is already established as one of the most studied galactooligosaccharides globally. The ingredient is now being applied to pet-specific formulations under the Bimuno Pet brand, which launched in October 2024. With proven benefits in digestive and immune health, Bimuno GOS offers a strong foundation for science-backed gut-health innovation in the pet nutrition space, according to Clasado.

“We are pleased to welcome Clasado to our membership. Our role is to promote high standards in pet food and supplements through shared knowledge, policy support and collaboration across the supply chain,” said Beth Morgan, Membership & Events executive for UK Pet Food. “Members like Clasado, with a strong scientific background, are vital to driving continued progress in our industry.”
