Received at 4:56 PM ET, Friday January 17, 2020 – AAFCO will allow consumers and consumer advocates to attend the meeting that starts in 4 days.

Received from AAFCO this afternoon:

I will be attending the meeting, providing pet food consumers a voice in the pet food regulatory process (as we deserved all along).

Just curious, what do pet owners think about this statement from AAFCO (from their email): “We hope to move ahead as a more collaborative and cohesive community this year, focused on our shared commitment to ensuring that our pets have safe and nutritious food options.” And do you think they really are looking forward to seeing us?

I’ll provide updates from the meeting as soon as possible.

Pet owners are now allowed to listen to the meeting (this option was previously removed from access on the AAFCO website). To listen to the Pet Food Committee meeting – Wednesday January 22, 2020, 9:30 AM MST – Click Here (phone numbers or web access information on top of agenda).
