KandaKpomo Edible Beef Snacks- Andrea Graves, Business Planning & Marketing Specialist 

This project has demonstrated a manufacturing process to convert beef hides to a human food. It has resulted in new and approved procedures to clean, dehair, heat treat, and measure physical and quality properties, to bring to commercialization as a food or food snack product.

There is demonstrated processability, consumer acceptability and USDA compliance for commercialization. Approval has been received by USDA to commercialize only if the hides are sourced and processed from the same facility. A significant step remains to obtain approval from USDA to transport hides from one USDA Inspected facility to another USDA inspected facility to further-process into Kpomo. There is work in progress to accomplish and FAPC has submitted a petition to USDA for approval.
