Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to discuss the responsibilities of the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and of state governments with respect to the use of animal waste as an animal feed ingredient. Included will be a discussion of FDA's jurisdiction over the regulation of animal waste, past actions taken by the FDA and several other federal agencies, and proposed action being considered by the FDA. State regulations with respect to refeeding will be reviewed, and the relationship between the federal and state programs will be discussed. Interpretation of FDA's Jurisdiction. The Food and Drug Administration is charged with the responsibility of administering the dictates of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, which became law in 1906. It was rewritten in 1938, and has been amended several times during the intervening years. One of the more notable amendments was the 1958 food additives amendment, which is especially relevant to feeding animal waste and which will be discussed below. Copyright © 1979.
