Tocopherols in dog food

Good quality ingredient with beneficial nutrients

Tocopherols (part of the vitamin E family of compounds) are powerful antioxidants and are the most commonly used natural preservative in dog food. As antioxidants, tochopherols are able to slow down the spoilage of food by inhibiting the oxidisation that turns fats rancid. Their use is extremely widespread in the UK as it provides a convenient, healthy alternative to potentially harmful chemical preservatives.

Hello,

I would like to make brownies for my dog that can hopefully last for 3 months or more. Looking to make a big batch and I have a very tiny fridge so hopefully no refrigeration required.

Are you bale to advise how long this ingredient will keep them safe for consumption?

I hope you can help me out with this.

Thank you so much!
