National Research Project to Assess State Agricultural Laws, Regulations, and Resources Related to Food for Animals (U01)

The goal of this Cooperative Agreement is to facilitate long term improvements to the national food safety system by providing states with information to aid in the identification of needed changes and resources to enforce requirements for current good manufacturing practice (CGMPs), hazard analysis, and risk-based preventive controls for food for animals modeled after FDA’s Current Good Manufacturing Practice, Hazard Analysis, and Risk-Based Preventive Controls for Food for Animals rule (Preventive Controls for Animal Food rule or PCAF rule). The information also would assist FDA in implementing the Preventive Controls for Animal Food rule.
