Upcoming Events: FDA Basics Webinar on Safeguarding the U.S. Food Supply, Excellent Industry Compliance with the Final Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) Rule, April 22, 2 p.m. E.T.
Did you know that FDA works to keep the food supply in the U.S. safe for people and animals? Everyday, FDA is protecting people by making sure that the food they eat comes from healthy animals.
As part of FDA Basics, FDA is hosting a webinar where you can learn more. Featured speakers Shannon Jordre, Consumer Safety Officer and Burt Pritchett, Veterinary Medical Officer from the Division of Compliance, Center for Veterinary Medicine, will discuss animal feed controls FDA has put in place to keep BSE out of the U.S. cattle population, thereby ensuring the safety of the nation’s food supply from BSE. After the presentation, there will be a chance to ask questions.
The free 30 minute webinar will be held on Thursday, April 22, at 2 p.m. ET.

I’d like to know more about what the FDA is doing in general about feed for all farm animals. I’ve seen the hay used for chicken houses fed to cows intended for slaughter. While I know that the cows like the high nitrogen content of the chicken droppings, what controls are in place for chicken feed? How about pigs? Given recent diseases, these seem to be just as important as our cows.

Top notch writing, would love to see a bit more media though! One of my favorite subjects… Then again my site hasn’t very much either – Great post all around, added your RSS feed! Love this theme, too!
Nice
Thank you for protecting us. The only issue I have ever had with bad food was with a restaurant that let a cannoli go sour from leaving it out on a hot day. You are doing a great job.
Yes the FDA doe do a great job!
