REGULATORY " By working together to solve the challenges with the ingredient review systems, we can all help the United States win back the leading spot in innovation in the animal food industry. " Leah Wilkinson, AFIA Improving through education AAFCO now has an online course focused on the ingredient review process and is also holding an in-person workshop at its upcoming midyear meeting. The workshop is focused on the ingredient review submission process and aims to improve the understanding of the requirements for such. The half-day workshop will allow attendees to discuss common mistakes or concerns regarding submissions with regulators and other industry experts. The goal is to increase everyone's understanding of the requirements, which will result in better submission packages and speed up ingredient reviews. Animal food manufacturers continue to provide innovative research, development and discovery into ingredients and nutritional approaches for more efficient digestion, absorption and utilization in the animal. Without these ingredients, pet food cannot be made, and we cannot provide innovative ingredients to the pet food sector without efficient and reliable ingredient review systems. By working together to solve the challenges with the ingredient review systems, we can all help the United States win back the leading spot in innovation within the animal food industry. Leah Wilkinson is vice president of public policy and education for the American Feed Industry Association.
