The FDA has urged manufacturers of raw pet food to improve their methods for detecting bird flu in products after several cases of affected cats and wild animals in the U.S. This move aims to better protect pets and pet owners from potential health risks posed by avian influenza contamination.
Vero’s thoughts on the news:
Enhancing quality control and detection methods in raw pet food manufacturing is a critical step for safeguarding public health and animal welfare. While this regulation increases responsibilities for manufacturers, it also pushes for innovation in detection technologies and ensures that the growing raw pet food market maintains safety standards.
