Regardia is an Italian leader in the production of feed ingredients through the transformation of former foodstuff products (e.g., pasta, baked goods and confectionery). Founded in 1981 by the Massa family, Regardia has developed an innovative industrial process to enhance the nutritional value of former foodstuff (for example, bakery and confectionery products) using them as ingredients in animal feed, supported by a high attention to quality and food safety, significantly contributing to the reduction of food waste. The former foodstuff mainly come from the food industry (individual ingredients, intermediate products or finished products, eg with labeling errors, packaging), from logistic distribution centres and from retailers.
Regardia has received ISO 14001 certification since 2019, and has assessed its product life cycle (LCA). Since 2006, Stella Mangimi, a sister company of Regardia, has been carrying out the production of feed based on former foodstuff products throughout central-southern Italy with the same know-how and expertise as Regardia, ensuring full national coverage.
