The Pet Food Committee Meeting will happen on Thursday August 8, 2024 from 1:15 to 3:15 PM Central Time. The agenda of this session features a discussion on the voluntary copper maximum claim. This item was previously voted against by AAFCO, nonetheless it’s being discussed again due to a Hill’s veterinarian’s paper on the subject being retracted. The veterinarian creator of this paper was a part of the AAFCO working group, which could have influenced the vote based on flawed science. Considering the arguments that Hill’s veterinarians put up against this at previous meetings, this particular discussion ought to be ‘interesting’.
The Pet Food Committee Meeting can even discuss the implementation of pet food label updates.
The Ingredient Definitions Committee Meeting will happen on Wednesday August 7, 2024 from 1:15 – 3:45 PM Central Time. This session agenda features a discussion regarding the soon to be ended agreement between AAFCO and FDA regarding pet food/animal food ingredients. We hope to learn more on this discussion about what’s going to occur in the longer term with pet food ingredients; who will define latest ingredients, AAFCO, FDA, or each?
We will likely be providing pet owners an update on details of the meeting as soon as we will.
Wishing you and your pet(s) the very best,
