FDA May be Coming to Your Clinic

July 20, 2016 — 

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has implemented a pilot project designed to help train FDA compliance personnel on the new VFD rules and to identify gaps in stakeholder education regarding the impending changes. The goal of the project is to target educational outreach to address those knowledge gaps. This project is currently ongoing and involves the random selection of three VFD forms at feed distributors and tracking those forms back to the veterinarian and forward to the producer. The investigator will evaluate all aspects of the process including paperwork accuracy, recordkeeping, proper manufacturing, distribution and administration of the VFD feed and compliance with the regulation. The goal of this pilot project is to enhance education and promote compliance during the VFD implementation.
