The-Truth-About-Pet-Foods

With that said, let me get down from my pulpit to have a little fun.
Indeed, if the consequences of the “100% complete” claim and its regulation
were not so serious, this could all be a real belly slapper.
The following are examples of how we at Wysong have been “regulated”
through the years in response to efforts to improve nutritional quality.
No exaggerations here. These are real live case histories from our
files chronicling some of the unreasoning discriminatory efforts of some
regulators.
Several agencies regulate pet foods either directly or indirectly. There’s
the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture), FDA (Food and
Drug Administration), AAFCO (Association of American Feed Control
Officials Incorporated), and each state has its own feed regulatory agency.
All of this to control what is fed to your cat or dog! A little overkill
(pardon the pun) wouldn’t you say I mean we’re not talking powerful
pharmaceuticals, addicting drugs or hazardous chemicals. Just food. You’d
wonder what it is all these people do to fill their time. Well, I’ll show you.
“ORGANIC”
We developed an organic, non-GMO (genetically modified organisms)
food and were going to name the product “Organic.”
After submitting labels for approval, regulators responded that we
could not name it “Organic.”
Further, we could not call the ingredients organic (even though they
were) without impossible red tape, such as providing third party confirmations,
affidavits, and proofs like needed in some kind of criminal case.
We were trying to do something good and they treated us like we were
planning a mass murder. Now if we wanted to use AAFCO approved,
dehydrated refuse and scrap plastic (see pages 7-8) and call it “100%
Complete,” no problem.
Do you feel safer now that our killer “Organic” food is not on the
market
