BIXBI Pet Earns Industry-First Clean Label Project Certification for Dog Kibble

BIXBI Pet has become the first pet food company to earn Clean Label Project Certification for dog kibble, with 13 products across its Rawbble® and BIXBI® lines now third-party verified for contaminants including heavy metals, pesticides and plasticizers.

The certification tests products against health-based benchmarks that often exceed minimum regulatory requirements. The announcement coincides with the launch of BIXBI’s ProteinBlend™ recipes, which combine Rawbble freeze-dried-coated kibble with air-dried jerky bites for skin and coat support and freeze-dried pieces for added protein.

“Third-party certifications like Clean Label Project validate the standards we hold ourselves to every day,” said CEO Rachel D’Agostino. For manufacturers and retailers, the move raises the premium shelf-edge bar: transparent, independently verified purity is shifting from a niche claim to a category expectation in dry dog food.
