Animal Feed Safety System (AFSS)

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced in August 2003 its intention to make its animal feed safety program more risk-based and comprehensive. When completed, the modernized Animal Feed Safety System (AFSS) will incorporate risk-based, preventive control measures for ensuring the safety of animal feed. FDA, with State assistance, has developed an AFSS framework document that identifies the current major processes, guidance, regulations and policy documents that address feed safety and the documents that should be developed to make the Agency's feed safety program comprehensive and risk-based. Public meetings were held in September 2003, April 2005, September 2006 and May 2007 to share draft plans and documents, and to solicit comments.

All draft documents are available for review and for commenting to the agency's docket for the AFSS (Docket Number FDA-2008-N-0189, formerly 2003N-0312).

Questions concerning AFSS should be directed to:
