| Abstract: | The Center for Veterinary Medicine (“CVMâ€), a division of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDAâ€), is responsible for administering the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act sections applicable to animal feed. The Association of American Feed Control Officials (“AAFCOâ€), an association of state, provincial, and national feed control officials, however, plays a large role in the regulation of animal feeds. The relationship between CVM and AAFCO is undefined, and the specific role of AAFCO in federal regulation of animal feeds is unclear. This ambiguity has led to claims that AAFCO rather than FDA regulates animal feeds. Evaluating the legitimacy of this criticism is difficult because federal feed officials have failed to summarize the federal regulation of animal feeds and to make clear that FDA is actively involved in the regulation of animal feed. This paper explores these two shortcomings under the terms “labeling†and “branding,†respectively. |
