REGULATORY

OVERVIEW
Small meat operations attracted by pet food processing
opportunities need to be familiar with the regulatory environment.
By Steve Krut | petfoodprocessing@sosland.com
O
Over the years, more small meat shop operations have
moved into pet food processing and many others are
considering expanding that activity as an adjunct to
their business. But most have questions about what is
required, what they are allowed to produce and, more
importantly, who provides oversight for that activity.
To begin with, there are both federal and state requirements. The US Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) has overall authority but most states also require
registration for products sold within their boundaries.
The FDA updated its pet food marketing rules in 2011
and requires that both human and animal food be safe
for consumption, that ingredients be listed and that they
serve a nutritional or safety purpose.
In essence, the FDA wants to see a good manufacturing program in place, such as Hazard Analysis
and Critical Control Points (HACCP), which most
small meat processors have in force under federal US
Department of Agriculture (USDA) or state meat inspection programs for human foods. The FDA will do
some inspections but doesn't have a field staff in place to
conduct on-site inspections at every location. They will
respond when food-caused injury or sickness has occurred or when a complaint has been filed.
Facilities under the inspection jurisdiction of the
USDA or state meat and poultry programs normally
lessen FDA or state FDA-equivalent agency concerns
since they are already under regular or often round-theclock surveillance, including pre-operational and postoperational standards.
Many small meat and poultry processors already
provide simple pet food items like smoked or unsmoked
bones and treats made from inspected meats or by-products that would otherwise be picked up by rendering
Glenn's Market, a
family-owned meat
store in Wisconsin,
produces raw and
freeze-dried beef,
pork, chicken and
turkey pet foods along
with 28 different types
of dog treats.
