AR-News: (US) FDA to restrict animal feed for pets

[Animalconcerns]

Washington-The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Center for Veterinary
Medicine (CVM) plans to expand its ban on brains and spinal tissue in
cattle feed to include food for dogs, cats, pigs and poultry, reports the
Associated Press.

Dr. Stephen Sundlof, director of the CVM, says the goal is to prevent
animal diseases from being passed onto consumers and other animals. Under
consideration, according to the agency, are new regulations, one of which
could require companies that slaughter livestock that are sick or injured
to dispose of the brain and spinal cord before mixing animal feed and pet
food.
