The Two Percent of Pet Food that is Hated by Regulatory

How can regulatory authorities (federal and state) hate and attack 2% of the pet food market while openly allowing much of the rest (98%) to violate law and mislead/lie to consumers? The vendetta against raw pet food continues.

Raw pet food makes up less than 2% of the total pet food market in the US. Yet raw pet food is scrutinized (outright attacked) by regulatory more than the other 98% – much more. Authorities warn of the dangers of raw pet food, yet there is no documented human illness linked to raw. And raw pet food has been tested far more than kibble even though kibble pet food is the largest segment of pet food sales having the potential to sicken/harm many more people. Why does regulatory authorities hate this 2% of the market – raw pet food – so badly?

What ‘they’ (regulatory) have done to the raw pet food market…

The FDA has openly warned consumers NOT to feed raw pet food stating “FDA does not believe raw meat foods for animals are consistent with the goal of protecting the public from significant health risks, particularly when such products are brought into the home and/or used to feed domestic pets.”

On the page titled “Avoid the Dangers of Raw Pet Food” the FDA states “Compared to other types of pet food, raw pet food is more likely to be contaminated with disease-causing bacteria, such as Salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes.”

Raw pet food is the ONLY style of pet food that the FDA has warned consumers about. There have been NO warnings against kibble pet foods. When you look at the actual statistics, it makes one wonder why FDA has ONLY warned consumers of the dangers of raw pet food. Over a five year period – June 2010 to June 2015 –

People handle raw meat all the time to prepare for their meals.  Butchers handle raw meat.  Proper handling isn't rocket science.
