Animal Feed Regulations for Prevention of BSE FDA

Animal Feed Regulations for Prevention of BSE FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine 1/26/2022 1

1997 BSE Feed Regulation Prohibits feeding mammalian protein to ruminants • Exceptions: milk products, blood products, gelatin, porcine/equine protein, and plate waste • • Requirements • • • 1/26/2022 Adequate measures for preventing cross-contamination maintain receipt, processing, and distribution records for one year (and make available for inspection) Label products with caution statement “Do not feed to cattle or other ruminants” 2

Strengthening the Feed Ban • July 14, 2004 published Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking • • Announced that FDA intends to propose removal of SRMs from all animal feed Requested public comment on 26 questions concerning IRT recommendations and other new feed control measures being considered • 1/26/2022 Comment period closed August 13, 2004 3

Strengthening the Feed Ban • Feed controls recommended by the IRT • • • 1/26/2022 All SRM should be excluded from all animal feed including pet food Cross-contamination should be prevented throughout the feed chain, including transportation and on the farm Current feed ban should be extended to exclude all mammalian and poultry protein from all ruminant feed 4

Information Requested by FDA • SRMs • • 1/26/2022 Should animal feed list = human food list? What portion of the intestines should be removed? Economic/environmental impacts of an SRM ban? Methods for marking and verification? 5

Information Requested by FDA cont’d • Deads and Downers • • • Economic/environmental impact of banning deads/downers? Can SRMs be effectively removed from deads/downers? Methods for verifying feed does not contain deads/downers? 1/26/2022 6

Information Requested by FDA cont’d • Risk reduction and environmental/economic impacts of other feed controls under consideration • • Dedicated facilities Blood products Poultry litter Plate waste Tallow (<0. 15%) obtained from rendering SRMs Ban on all mammalian and avian MBM in ruminant feed If SRMs are banned are other controls needed? 1/26/2022 7

Strengthening the Feed Ban • Current CVM priorities ü • • 1/26/2022 Review comments pertaining to SRMs Prepare a Proposed Rule on SRMs Review comments on remaining issues 8

Infrastructure Challenges • IRT recommendations cont’d • 1/26/2022 “Recognizing the absence of an established infrastructure for the separation and disposal of SRM or MBM the subcommittee accepted that a staged approach may be necessary for implementation” 9
