The American Feed Industry Association (AFIA), the National Grain and Feed Association (NGFA), the National Renderers Association (NRA), and the Pet Food Institute (PFI) on March 4 submitted an official request to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to extend the comment period for its proposed rule on Current Good Manufacturing Practice and Risk-Based Preventive Controls for Food for Animals to give animal feed, pet food, and feed ingredient companies more time to review and develop comments on this major proposed regulation.
The request seeks an additional 90 days to prepare comments on the issues raised by the proposed rule. The groups wish to extend the comment period to June 30.
