about micronized food products
Micronized Food Products, cooked cereal suppliers, is a privately owned family business which was established over 25 years ago to develop the new innovative process of micronizing cereals and pulses for the animal feed and brewing industries.
The company manufactures a wide range of micronized food products at two sites, Driby Top in Lincolnshire and Northallerton in North Yorkshire. The sites are accredited to UFAS and FEMAS quality assurance standards. Both sites have dedicated laboratories to ensure that raw materials comply with strict quality standards and finished products exceed their technical specifications and customer requirements. The manufacturing plants are operated by highly skilled staff with many years of experience in our business.
Micronized Food Products operates in the following sectors- Brewing, Agriculture, Equine, Pet and Wild Bird Food. While both plants produce cooked products in flaked, whole and meal form, the Northallerton plant also focuses on the brewing sector and the Driby Top site has a coarse mix plant manufacturing horse feeds and molassed coarse mixtures for agricultural youngstock.
The latest development is the installation of a fully automated wild bird and coarse poultry feed mixing facility at our Driby Top site - to produce customer own label mixes.
The company is focused solely on the production of customer own label products.
the process
Every consignment of raw material is thoroughly sampled and tested in our onsite laboratories to analyse the critical quality criteria prior to acceptance for processing. After discharge into holding silos the raw materials are cleaned and graded to remove any impurities and admixture.
The cleaned raw material is then conditioned with steam and water to pre-determined levels and tempered for precise time periods prior to cooking. The cooking process enhances the palatability, digestibility and nutrient value of the product. At all stages of the production process material is aspirated to ensure the finished product is of the highest quality.
The cooked product is processed as whole grain, flakes or ground into a meal, before being screened and graded prior to packing in 25kg bags, totes or bulk.
Both our sites are accredited to UFAS and FEMAS quality assurance standards.
