Pet Food Regulations

FDA Has Given Us 6 Minutes

To explain the challenges pet owners face with pet food.

The FDA is hosting a virtual listening session on September 24, 2021, 1:00 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. ET. We requested opportunity to present at the event, and FDA has allotted us six minutes scheduled at 3:34 PM ET (every speaker is allotted 6 minutes of time).

With the FDA confirmation, the agency also sent an instruction sheet for presenters. Two interesting requirements FDA sent were:

The promotion or condemnation of any product or service within the oral or written presentation will not be permitted.”

And:

Personal attacks will not be tolerated.”

Pet owners can register to attend the event and watch all presenters here: https://fda.zoomgov.com/webinar/register/WN_RF7wBQ9DSNqH9xPwAydczg

More information about the event is provided here: https://www.fda.gov/animal-veterinary/workshops-conferences-meetings/fda-virtual-listening-session-oversight-pet-food

The FDA is limiting attendance, but states the full webinar will be posted on the FDA website after the event.

We will share our presentation with pet owners after the event.

Wishing you and your pet(s) the best,
