Should Salmonella be allowed in raw pet food? Answers Pet Food challenges FDA over zero tolerance

Lystn, LLC d.b.a & ANSWERS™ Pet Food Challenges the FDA for the Public's Freedom to choose safe, healthy, raw pet food. The company has filed a Declaratory Judgment Complaint and is seeking Injunctive Relief against the FDA in the United States Colorado District Court. The complaint challenges the lawfulness of the FDA's actions, with cooperation provided by various members of the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO), by adopting a nationwide, zero-tolerance standard for Salmonella in pet food that is noncompliant with federal law, unsupported by science, and beyond the FDA's scope of power as delegated by Congress. ANSWERS™ Pet Food announced that while the U.S.D.A permits allowable quantities of Salmonella in human food, the FDA who regulates pet food, has adopted an unsustainable, zero-tolerance standard for Salmonella presence in pet food. ANSWERS™ approach to food safety employs fermentation, Hurdle Technology, and other proprietary processes, to control pathogens by eliminating them, reducing them, or inhibiting growth whereby good bacteria can survive and compete with harmful bacteria. Also addressed in the complaint, is the alleged extensive FDA regulatory abuse. ANSWERS™ asserts the FDA is unlawfully targeting the raw pet food industry, seeking to eradicate raw pet food. @ https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/answers-pet-food-challenges-the-fda-for-the-publics-freedom-to-choose-safe-healthy-raw-pet-food-300881182.html
