Issuing agencies

Abstract

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA, Agency, or we) is announcing the availability of a final guidance for industry #272 entitled "Practices to Prevent Unsafe Contamination of Animal Feed from Drug Carryover." We are issuing this final guidance to describe practices that medicated feed manufacturers can use to prevent unsafe contamination from drug carryover into a non-medicated animal feed or an animal feed containing a different approved new animal drug. Unsafe contamination of animal feed from drug carryover can pose a risk to human and animal health. This guidance replaces Compliance Policy Guides Sec. 680.500 and 680.600.
