Are There Illegal Ingredients In Your Pet Food? Chelsea Kent - Susan Thixton

U.S. federal law defines “food” as: “articles used for food or drink for man or other animals.” U.S. federal law defines an “adulterated food” (an illegal food) as (in part): “if it consists in whole or in part of any filthy, putrid, or decomposed substance; if it is, in whole or in part, the product of a diseased animal or of an animal which has died otherwise than by slaughter.”

Filthy, putrid, decomposed, diseased animal and/or non-slaughtered animals. Keep those terms in mind as we show you what FDA allows into pet food, ignoring federal law on todays show.
