Pet Food Regulations

It Shall be Suitable for Use in Pet Food

In a last moments effort to get signatures on our petitions to FDA and AAFCO, here is a brief video showing how FDA allows hideous waste into pet food.

In a last moments effort to get signatures on our petitions to FDA and AAFCO, here is a brief video showing how FDA allows hideous waste into pet food.

Would you buy a meal for your family that was prepared with spoiled, decomposing meat? You might be doing that right now – for your furry family – without even knowing.

The FDA allows pet food to be made from spoiled, decomposing meat and moldy, rotten vegetables – with no disclosure to the consumer. The FDA also allows pet food to be made from choice meats and vegetables – the same you would buy in the grocery – with no disclosure to the pet food consumer. Which quality of ingredient pet food are you buying? You probably don’t know, because pet food manufacturers are not required to disclose the quality of ingredients on the pet food label.

In early August 2015, FDA and AAFCO will meet to discuss quality of ingredient statements on pet food labels. Numerous pet food consumer advocates will be at this meeting to tell authorities consumers have a right to know the quality of ingredients used in their pet food.

    I gladly signed both of these petitions when you first put them up. It’s more than despicable what the pet food industry and the FDA are doing!

    Just sent this message out to 5 animal rescue groups and some other classified groups and on facebook. Hope there is enough interest to get the signatures needed on the big one, almost there on the the change.org one 🙂
    “Please sign the petition and forward this on to everyone you know and ask them to pass it on. The deadline is just around the corner. We’ve got to stop the pet food manufacturers from putting all this disgusting, rotten food into the pet food that we feed our beloved pets. Aren’t you tired of the cancers, heart disease, IBD, diabetes, etc. that your furry family members have to go through because of what they are eating?? They are suffering because the greedy manufacturers want to put more money in their pockets instead of spending it on quality ingredients, and making veterinarians rich.”

    I signed the petition the first time. How do I post only the video on my facebook page?

    A salesman for one of the pet food companies for which I sell food told me it’s not that the quality subject isn’t required; it’s not allowed. It’s just a slight difference in language but, given the apparent corruption of the groups pulling the strings, it makes more sense to me that honesty isn’t allowed, rather than not being required. Of course, he could also have just been a “salesman.”

    We need to boycott any pet food company that continues this practice. Our dogs and cats are the purest creatures on the planet. We would all be less, if not for them, in our lives.
