S 4562 United States Senate · 118th Congress

NO SHT Act

The NO SHT Act prohibits the intentional addition of excrement to animal feed sold across state lines, directly affecting feed manufacturers and distributors who must ensure their products contain no intentionally added excrement. The law amends the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to clarify that using livestock or poultry manure as crop fertilizer remains permitted and is not considered intentional excrement addition. This policy change aims to prevent contamination in animal feed while explicitly exempting standard agricultural fertilizer practices. The bill focuses on a specific regulatory update without altering broader farming or food safety standards.
