Illinois Administrative Code › Title 8 - AGRICULTURE AND ANIMALS › Part 200 - COMMERCIAL FEED ACT › Subpart B - PET FOOD › Section 200.140 - Brand and Product Names

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) No
				flavor designation shall be used on a pet food label unless the designated
				flavor is detectable by test methods, as adopted in Section 9 of the Act. Any
				flavor designation on a pet food label shall either conform to the name of its
				source as shown in the ingredient statement or the ingredient statement shall
				show the source of the flavor. The word flavor shall be printed in the same
				size type and with an equal degree of conspicuousness as the ingredient term(s)
				from which the flavor designation is derived. Distributors of pet food
				employing such flavor designation or claims on the labels of the product
				distributed by them, shall upon written request, supply verification of the
				designated or claimed flavor to the Director.
b) The designation "100%" or "All" or words
				of similar connotation shall not be used in the brand or product name of a pet
				food if it contains more than one ingredient. However, for the purpose of this
				provision, water sufficient for processing, decharacterizing agents and trace
				amounts of preservatives and condiments shall not be considered
				ingredients.
c) The term "meat" and
				"meat by-products" shall be qualified to designate the animal from which the
				meat and meat by-products are derived unless the meat and meat by-products are
				from cattle, swine, sheep or goats. For example, "horsemeat" and "horsemeat
				by-products."
d) The name of the
				pet food shall not be derived from one or more ingredients of a mixture of a
				pet food product unless all components or ingredients are included in the name
				except as specified by subsection (a), (e) or (f) of this Section; provided
				that the name of an ingredient or combination of ingredients may be used as a
				part of the product name if:
1) the
				ingredient or combination of ingredients is present in a quantity to impart a
				distinctive characteristic to the product;
2) it does not constitute a representation
				that the ingredient or combination of ingredients is present to the exclusion
				of other ingredients; or
3) it is
				not otherwise false or misleading.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 8 - AGRICULTURE AND ANIMALS › Part 200 - COMMERCIAL FEED ACT › Subpart B - PET FOOD › Section 200.150 - Expression of Guarantees

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) The
				sliding scale method of expressing a guaranteed analysis (for example, "protein
				15-18%") is prohibited.
b) Pursuant
				to Section 5(a)(3) of the Act, the label of a pet food which is formulated as
				and represented to be a mineral supplement, shall include in the guaranteed
				analysis the minimum and maximum percentages of calcium, the minimum percentage
				of phosphorus and the minimum and maximum percentages of salt. The minimum
				content of all other essential nutrient elements recognized by the AAFCO Dog or
				Cat Food Nutrient Profile, as adopted in Section 10 of the Act, from sources
				declared in the ingredient statement shall be expressed as the element in units
				specified in the recognized nutrient profile.
c) The label of pet food which is formulated
				as and represented to be a vitamin supplement shall include a guarantee of the
				minimum content of each vitamin declared in the ingredient statement.
d) Vitamins guaranteed on pet foods shall be
				stated in International Units per kilogram (IU/kg) for vitamins A, D, and E.
				All other vitamins shall be stated in milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) except
				vitamin B12 which may be guaranteed in micrograms per kilogram
				(mcg/kg).
e) The vitamin potency of
				pet food products distributed in containers smaller than 1 lb. may be
				guaranteed in International Units (IU) per kilogram of weight for vitamins A,
				D, and E. All other vitamins may be guaranteed in milligrams per kilogram of
				weight (mg/kg) except vitamin B12 which may be guaranteed in micrograms per
				kilogram (mcg/kg).
f) If the label
				of a pet food does not represent the pet food to be either a vitamin or a
				mineral supplement, but does include a table of comparison of a typical
				analysis of the vitamin, mineral, or nutrient content of the pet food with
				levels determined by the AAFCO, as adopted in Section 10 of the Act, the
				statement in a table of comparison of the vitamin, mineral, or nutrient content
				shall constitute a guarantee, but need not be repeated in the guaranteed
				analysis. Such table of comparison may appear on the label separate and apart
				from the guaranteed analysis.
g)
				The use of percentages or words of similar import when referring to nutrient
				levels established by the AAFCO Pet Food Nutrient Profile, as adopted in
				Section 10 of the Act, shall not be permitted on pet food labels, except that
				such direct comparisons in whole or part of the individual nutrient contents of
				a pet food with those recommended by the recognized nutrient profile may be
				made where the comparisons are expressed in the same quantitative units as
				those used by the cited nutrient profile and,
1) the product in question meets the nutrient
				profile determined by AAFCO, and
2)
				the comparison is preceded by a statement to that effect.

				moisture in excess of 78.00%.
b)
				Each ingredient of the pet food shall be listed in the ingredient statement,
				and names of all ingredients in the statement shall be shown in letters or type
				of the same size. The failure to list the ingredients of a pet food in
				descending order by their predominance by weight in non-quantitative terms
				shall be misleading. Any ingredient for which the AAFCO has established a name
				and definition shall be identified by the name so established. Any ingredient
				for which no name and definition has been so established shall be identified by
				the common or usual name of the ingredient. Brand or trade names shall not be
				used in the ingredient statement.
c) The term "dehydrated" may precede the name
				of any ingredient in the ingredient list that has been artificially
				dried.
d) No reference to quality
				or grade of an ingredient shall appear in the ingredient statement of a pet
				food.

				quality, nature, form, or other attribute of an ingredient shall be made unless

				in the United States Food and Drug Regulations, as adopted in Section 10 of the

				pets.
b) Prior to approval of a
				registration application or approval of a label for pet food which contains
				additives (including drugs, other special purpose additives, or non-nutritive
				additives), the distributor shall submit evidence to prove the safety and
				efficacy of the pet food, when used according to directions furnished on the
				label. Satisfactory evidence of the safety and efficacy of a pet food may be:
1) when the pet food contains such additives,
				the use of which conforms to the requirements of the applicable regulations in
				the 21 CFR, or which are "prior sanctioned" or "generally recognized as safe"
				for such use, or
2) when the pet
				food itself is a drug as defined in Section 3(g) of the Act and is generally
				recognized as safe and effective or is marketed subject to an application
				approved by the Food and Drug Administration under
