Native plums may help preserve pet food

Plums are still in season and whilst we humans love them, our four legged friends may also find them useful. Two native Australian plums (the kakadu & Queensland Davidson plums) have been found to contain specific types of anti-microbial substances that when combined with organic acids act as natural preservatives to help prolong the life of processed kangaroo meat used in pet food. This means a reduction in the use of preservatives such as sulphides, which can cause vitamin B1 deficiencies in cats and dogs- sounds pretty good to me!
