Title: Removal of 9 CFR Part 355--Certified Products for Dogs, Cats, and Other Carnivora; Inspection, Certification, and Identification as to Class, Quality, Quantity, and Condition | |
Abstract:
The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is proposing to eliminate its regulations at 9 CFR part 355, thus ending the program under which FSIS inspectors provide fee-for-service certification that certain foods for dogs, cats and other carnivora (pet food) are produced under sanitary conditions and meet compositional and labeling requirements. The certified pet food regulations are outdated, and FSIS is unaware of any establishments currently paying for FSIS certification services for pet food. Additionally, the fact that both USDA and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) inspect pet food has led to industry and consumer confusion, and both agencies agree that stakeholders will benefit from the simplification of Federal jurisdiction over pet food. |
