Category 3 Material: not suitable for human consumption

As a buyer of food products, Froozzoo offers complete solutions for food products. So also for category 3 material. These are animal by-products from animals that have been slaughtered in a slaughterhouse and approved following an inspection in accordance with EU legislation, but are not suitable for human consumption for commercial reasons.

All these products fall under strict EU legislation and never contain symptoms of diseases transmissible to humans or animals.

Examples of category 3 foodstuffs

  • Meat intended for regular sale of which the best before date has passed
  • Frozen products that have been refrozen after thawing
  • Rejected batches due to microbiological reasons
  • Rejected batches due to unclear origin (tracability)

But also:

  • Raw milk from healthy animals
  • Fish caught in the high seas for the production of fishmeal
  • Hooves, hair, feathers, horns of animals approved for human consumption
  • Former foodstuffs, for example foodstuffs that the operator decides to no longer use for human consumption
  • Products of animal origin, or foodstuffs containing products of animal origin, which are no longer intended for human consumption for commercial reasons or because of production problems, packaging defects or other problems that do not pose a risk to public or animal health

Purchase of batches of food from Category 3

Processing category 3 material requires a partner with specific properties. Froozzoo has all the necessary permits for trade, transport and storage of CAT 3. These batches are processed for the animal food sector or bio-fermentation, better known as bio-energy.

  • Own refrigerated trucks for transport
  • Own cold store with central location
  • Knowledge of national and international legislation

Not just CAT 3 articles

Froozzoo has years of experience in buying and selling consignments of (frozen) products. We buy products with production defects, but we also have other purchasing channels. For example, from our European network we receive offers from:

  • Products with a longer shelf life
  • Damages as a result of fire, water or smoke
  • Products due to production deviations

Our vision: prevent waste

Food waste is one of the biggest problems facing our planet. 30% of total food production for human consumption is wasted. In Europe, we throw away no less than 95 to 115 kilos of food per person every year. With our services we contribute to less waste and prevent loss because your products (and capital) are not destroyed.
