On September 24, 2021, 1:00 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. ET the FDA is hosting a listening session “to provide stakeholders with an opportunity to share information and insight” about pet food. The agency is providing opportunity for stakeholders – including consumers – to present their viewpoints regarding FDA’s regulation of pet food.
The FDA announcement stated: “The virtual listening session is an opportunity for stakeholders – consumers, industry, interest groups, academia, and others – to share information and feedback that they feel is relevant to FDA’s oversight of pet food. The Agency would like to gather information and better understand various perspectives on topics such as the FDA’s oversight of pet food labeling, ingredients, contaminants, and safety to help inform resource allocation and any potential future policy development process.“

Hi Susan,
Thanks so much for the notification. I don’t know where I would have heard about this if not through you. My biggest concern is 4D meats in pet food. I can’t add anything about this topic that I didn’t learn from you.
