Tomato Pomace for Pet Food: Upcycled Fiber with a Story

As pet food brands chase functional, cost-effective fiber, fruit and vegetable by-products have moved from waste stream to valued ingredient. Tomato pomace is a clear example: the dried skins and seeds left after juice and paste production, turned into a natural fiber and antioxidant-positioned inclusion.

Why tomato pomace works in pet food

Tomato pomace brings dietary fiber and a recognizable, natural ingredient story to extruded feed and dry blends. It supports digestion claims and lets brands lean into upcycled, sustainable positioning that resonates with pet parents.

Other functional by-products

It sits alongside apple pomace and citrus pellets as economical fiber sources for pet food formulators.

Sourcing consistent pomace

Because it is a by-product, consistency varies by supplier — confirm moisture, particle size and steady volumes before committing. APS Phoenix supplies tomato pomace in bulk with reliable specs and dependable delivery.
