Who Runs the Aafco

AAFCO is a private corporation, not a government regulatory agency. AAFCO is a voluntary organization, which is comprised largely of regulatory officials who have responsibility for enforcing their state’s laws and regulations concerning the safety of animal feeds.

Is AAFCO a regulatory agency?

While AAFCO has no regulatory authority, it does set standards that states and dominions adopt. Those entities have regulatory authority over animal-feed and pet-food commerce only within their jurisdictions.

What is the AAFCO official publication?

Every year the when the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) publishes its new Official Publication (OP), a handbook which contains the terms used in pet food, consumers wonder why it is so darned expensive.
