Abstract: The present disclosure is drawn to wet pet food systems and methods of packaging wet pet foods. The wet pet food systems include a sealed pouch constructed of a monomaterial of polypropylene and a wet pet food contained within the sealed pouch. The wet pet food can include a member selected from the group consisting of a mousse, a chunk-in-loaf, and chunks-in-gravy. The wet pet food includes an antioxidant including a soy sauce.

Abstract: A method of making a wet food formulated for administration to a pet includes incorporating at least one of spinach or tomato into the wet food in an amount effective to enhance palatability of the wet food and/or reduce added sugar in the wet food. The method may include producing the wet food as a chunks-in-gravy composition and may include one or more of the following steps: (i) producing the gravy by a process comprising adding spinach to one or more other ingredients of the gravy; (ii) producing the gravy by a process comprising adding tomato to one or more other ingredients of the gravy, and preferably also incorporating free form cysteine into in the gravy; and (iii) producing the chunks by a process comprising adding both spinach and tomato to one or more other ingredients of the chunks. The method may include producing the wet food as a loaf composition, preferably by incorporating both spinach and tomato into the loaf composition.
