Animal Feed Safety System: A Comprehensive Risk-Based Safety Program for the Manufacture and Distribution of Animal Feeds; Request for Comments

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA, we) held a public meeting in Herndon, VA on September 22 and 23, 2003, to discuss the potential development of a comprehensive, risk-based animal feed safety system (AFSS). The AFSS is intended to describe how animal feeds (individual ingredients and mixed feeds) should be manufactured and distributed to minimize risks to animals consuming the feed and humans consuming food products from animals. During the meeting, we stated we would be keeping the public informed of our progress on this initiative and would be seeking comments and continued participation as we proceed. To that end, we have placed in FDA's docket for public comment numerous work products of the meeting, along with documents we drafted following the meeting to show our tentative thoughts on an AFSS.
