食品伙伴網(wǎng)訊 據(jù)美國(guó)食品藥品管理局(FDA)消息,按照美國(guó)食品藥品管理法修訂案(FDAAA)的要求,為增加動(dòng)物食品管理透明度并確保動(dòng)物食品供應(yīng)的安全,美國(guó)食品藥品管理局(FDA)近日發(fā)布了關(guān)于制訂動(dòng)物食品配料定義和標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的策略。
作為策略的一部分,美國(guó)FDA將審查行業(yè)與政府監(jiān)管機(jī)構(gòu)使用的動(dòng)物食品配料定義列表。針對(duì)動(dòng)物食品配料,F(xiàn)DA確定了下述步驟:
1. FDA擬發(fā)布一項(xiàng)擬議規(guī)則,針對(duì)那些公認(rèn)安全(GRAS)食品配料和該局批準(zhǔn)的食品添加劑,將美國(guó)飼料控制官協(xié)會(huì)(AAFCO)的動(dòng)物食品配料定義設(shè)定為該局的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)和定義。該局在發(fā)布最終規(guī)則前,將對(duì)該擬議規(guī)則進(jìn)行公開(kāi)評(píng)議。
2. FDA科學(xué)家將評(píng)估AAFCO官方出版物中所列明,但目前尚未被FDA批準(zhǔn)為食品添加劑或不是GRAS的動(dòng)物食品配料。

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced today a strategy to establish ingredient definitions and standards for animal food in order to increase transparency and affirm the safety of the animal food supply, as required by the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act (FDAAA) of 2007.
As part of the strategy, the FDA will review the list of animal food ingredient definitions used by industry and state regulators, which is contained in Association of American Feed Control Officials' (AAFCO) Official Publication. AAFCO is a voluntary membership organization that includes regulatory officials of U.S. state and federal government agencies. AAFCO provides a forum for these regulatory officials to provide guidance and recommendations to ensure that the regulation of animal feeds is as uniform as possible from state to state.
