  • What are the main requirements for pet food producers under the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) Preventive Control Rules for Animal Feed?
  • What are best practices for quality and safety testing at various steps of the production process – for example, testing incoming raw materials, test and hold of finished products?
  • How can you ensure you’re meeting your critical control points as part of hazard analysis and critical control points (HACCP) and also following good manufacturing practices (cGMPs), as required under FSMA?
  • What are the main things to test for: contaminants (bio, toxins, metal, other), nutritional validity, guaranteed analysis, etc.?
  • How do third-party safety certifications fit in? Do those align with FSMA compliance? What are key considerations for pet food producers contemplating pursuing such a certification?
