Kill step for powdered products

Hello, I have taken on a roll as a product developer for a pet treat company. One product we are working on is dog ice cream and it calls for gelatin. We are packing the dried powder base and having owners mix water and freeze so we dont have a kill step from cooking. We have not been able to find RTE gelatin powder and we need to figure out a kill step in house that we can do not just for this product but other powder based products as well. 

Hi Sbeetsch,

Welcome to the IFSQN forums.

Have you looked at irradiation?

Kind regards,

What do the directions for preparing say? Can any temperature of water be used?

I'm wondering if you could instruct customers to add the powder to boiling water and then freeze.

This would get your gelatin and all other ingredients above 165°F and take care of some pathogens.

It would require validation that texture/quality isn't affected, but I thought it could be an option.
