Comments extended on Animal Food rule

There’s more time for the animal food industry to comment on the FDA’s proposed animal food rule. At the request of the Animal Feed Industry Association, National Grain and Feed Association, National Renderers and the Pet Food Institute, the Food & Drug Administration has extended the deadline for comment by a month, making it March 31st (2014).

The groups say they need the extension to respond to the “significant scope and magnitude of the proposed rule for animal feed and pet food” and are already “wading through” a number of other proposed rules under the Food Safety and Modernization Act in addition to this one.
