Millet is not defined by the AAFCO.  Millet is a gluten-free grain harvested from certain seed grasses. Millet is hypoallergenic and naturally rich in B-vitamins and fiber as well as other essential minerals.  Millets have been used for human food for thousands of years, long before rice. It is rich in B vitamins (especially niacin, B6, and folic acid), calcium, iron, potassium, magnesium, and zinc. Millet, while technically a grain, is gluten-free.

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