Association of American Feed Control Officials Model Regulations

The Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) Model Regulations are guidelines developed to standardize the regulation of pet and livestock feeds across the United States. They set rules for ingredient definitions, labeling, and nutritional standards to ensure products are safe, properly labeled, and meet nutritional requirements. While AAFCO itself does not enforce laws, state agencies often adopt these models into their own regulations, helping ensure consistency and quality in animal feed products nationwide.
