Two Senators that have a long history of pet food consumer advocacy have stepped up for us again. Senator Richard Durbin and Senator Dianne Feinstein have sent questions to FDA – concerned about the safety of Beneful Dog Food and the overall safety of pet food.

Senator Durbin and Senator Feinstein addressed their pet food concerns to Margaret Hamburg, the Commission of the FDA.

Feed, including pet feed (labeled as food), is allowed to contain diseased animal tissue, euthanized animals, chemical or pesticide contaminated rejected for use in human food ingredients. Just about any waste – rejected as food (human food) is welcome in animal feed with no disclosure to the consumer. Please read the FDA Veterinary Compliance Policy Manual Guides for animal feed. Link: http://www.fda.gov/ICECI/ComplianceManuals/CompliancePolicyGuidanceManual/ucm117042.htm  Scroll to bottom section titled Animal Feed. You will probably be horrified.

Feed ingredients including meats are not required by law to be stored or transported under refrigeration or in clean containers.
