Paws Off Act of 2025

HR 237, the Paws Off Act of 2025, requires food manufacturers to add specific warning labels on products containing xylitol, a sugar substitute toxic to dogs if ingested. The bill amends federal food labeling law to mandate that all such foods include a clear warning about xylitol's dangers to dogs. The Food and Drug Administration must issue an interim rule within 6 months and a final rule within 1 year of the bill's enactment to implement this requirement. This directly affects food producers who sell products with xylitol and aims to protect dog owners by preventing accidental pet poisoning.
