​​What is the AAFCO?​

The Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) is a voluntary membership association of local, state and federal agencies charged by law to regulate the sale and distribution of animal feeds and animal drug remedies.



Purpose and Function of AAFCO:

Although AAFCO has no regulatory authority, the Association provides a forum for the membership and industry representation to achieve three main goals:

    Ensure consumer protection
    Safeguarding the health of animals and humans
    Providing a level playing field of orderly commerce for the animal feed industry.
