Comprehension and compliance with pet food registrations and standards across states necessitates mindfulness and meticulousness.

Registrations and related regulations between states are not consistent and change without proper notice, therefore management and logistics whilst keeping up to date with developments is imperative. Missing deadlines, and submitting incomplete documents, amongst many other variables potentially become more costly for the business.

It is difficult to manage registration processes, and even more so between a multitude of states and multitude of products. Proper communication, coordination, and documentation is imperative. Becoming a supporting organization that assists those in need of navigating such complex processes is essential.

AAFCO has released new and updated regulations as well as streamlined resources. During a period where the governing regulating body makes significant changes, this becomes an opportune time for other organizations, in this case, individual states, to review and possibly create changes of their own.

Observation is key. There is always a push for innovation within the industry which yields to furthering developments and research. Being cognizant of such progression allows for the opportunity to assist those within the pet food industry whether it be a manufacturer, distributor, or a start-up company.
