The FDA is supposed to enforce the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act laws. Federal law clearly defines an adulterated food as: Section 402 Adulterated food: “A food shall be deemed to be adulterated – (a) Poisonous, insanitary, or deleterious ingredients.” (a)(5) “if it is, in whole or in part, the product of a diseased animal or of an animal which has died otherwise than by slaughter;”
However…FDA administration tells the Field Agents to ignore the above law in regards to pet food. The following is the FDA Compliance Policy…
“Pet food consisting of material from diseased animals or animals which have died otherwise than by slaughter, which is in violation of 402(a)(5) will not ordinarily be actionable, if it is not otherwise in violation of the law. It will be considered fit for animal consumption.”

If you wonder about what goes into your dog's food this is a good place to start.
Informative issues, recall info, brand information and a general "education" about the Pet Food Industry and what it is today.
