Safer Animal Food In Our Country


Safer Animal Food In Our Country
1.      http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/10/25/fda-safe-pet-food/3187335/
2.      Category* of Problem/Issue identified in article: Food Safety
3.      Level of problem/issue: Federal
4.      This article is concerning a problem that is affecting animals and its owners and some rules proposed by the FDA to require safer animal food.

5.   This is important to individuals because the health of the owners of the animals may be affected if a food borne illness is transmitted from the animal to the human. The safety of the animal food is really important in order to avoid infections among individuals and their animals.

 
6.   I think this new rules proposed by the Food and Drug Administration it’s an excellent idea not only to improve animals health but also to prevent any infection that can be transmitted from animals to humans. I think is important to regulate any type of food that enters our country. It’s the responsible of the government organizations to make sure the industry provide safe food not only to humans but also to animals. This new rule would also make industry more responsible on what is going in to their products some t times I think the owners of the industry always look only to get cheaper products in order to sell their products and obtain more money from them without any responsibility on investigate if they are safe and would not affect humans in a negative way. This also would help to know the cause of the many deaths in dogs probably linked to jerky treats in our country. Food safety is always a very important factor that should be always took into account among the government because is helping to improve citizen’s health and prevent any possible outbreak.
