Innovative FEED Act
This bill creates a new regulatory category for certain substances added to animal feed, called "zootechnical animal food substances." It defines these as products that affect digestion, reduce foodborne pathogens, or alter gut bacteria in animals - without treating disease or acting as drugs - while excluding hormones and veterinary drugs. The bill requires manufacturers to submit specific data about these substances to the FDA for review and mandates clear labeling stating they are "not for use in the diagnosis, cure, or treatment of animal disease." This changes how such feed additives are evaluated and labeled, without requiring their use in farming.
