AAFCO and Pet Food Regulations

The FDA works in partnership with the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) and a representative from the FDA/CVM serves on the Board of Directors of AAFCO.  However, AAFCO is not a government agency but an organization.  AAFCO's literature states that it is an organization "in which officials of state, provincial, dominion and federal agencies, engage in the regulation of production, analysis, labeling, distribution and sale of animal feeds and livestock remedies, may exchange ideas and share experience for mutual benefit and development of uniformity.
It is also interesting to note that although the literature from AAFCO states that this organization is composed of employees of state, federal, and provincial agencies, its membership directory includes representation from a number of pet food companies.  Members include Heinz Pet Foods, Bil Jac Pet Foods, Nutramax, Purina, the Iams Company, Nutro, Kal Kan Foods, and American Nutrition Inc. a company that makes a number of name or store-brand pet foods.  The roster also includes members from the rendering industry and the Pet Food Institute.
As quoted by: Ann N. Martin (Author of Food Pets Die For).

AND WE WONDER WHY OUR PETS ARE SICK AND DIE AT AN EARLIER AGE.  PETS SHOULD LIVE TO APPROX. 23 AND YET THEIR LIFE SPAN IS USUALLY AROUND 16.
