(1)
				The label of a dog or cat food, including snacks, treats, and supplements,

				kilocalories per familiar household measure (e.g., cans or cups) or unit of
				product (e.g., treats or pieces); and
(c) The calorie content is determined by one
				of the following methods:
(i) By calculation
				using the following "Modified Atwater" formula: ME (kcal/kg) = 10[(3.5 ×
				CP) + (8.5 × CF) + (3.5 × NFE)], where ME = metabolizable energy,
				CP = % crude protein "as fed," CF = % crude fat "as fed," NFE = % nitrogen-free
				extract (carbohydrate) "as fed," and the percentages of CP and CF are the
				average values of these components in the product as determined by sound
				scientific methods, such as, but not limited to, scientifically accurate
				calculations made from the formula of the product or upon chemical analysis of
				the product. The NFE is calculated as the difference between 100 and the sum of
				CP, CF, and the percentages of crude fiber, moisture and ash (determined in the
				same manner as CP and CF); or
(ii)
				In accordance with a testing procedure established by AAFCO.
(d) An affidavit shall be provided
				upon the request of substantiating that the calorie content was determined by:
(i) WAC 16-252-118(1)(c)(i) in which case the
				summary data used in the calculation shall be included in the affidavit;
				or
(ii) WAC 16-252-118(1)(c)(ii) in
				which case the summary data used in the determination of calorie content shall
				accompany the affidavit.
(e) The calorie content statement shall
				appear as one of the following:
(i) The
				heading "Calorie Content" on the label or other labeling shall be followed
				parenthetically by the word "calculated" when the calorie content is determined
				in accordance with (c)(i) of this subsection; or
(ii) The heading "Calorie Content" on the
				label or other labeling shall be followed parenthetically by the word "fed"
				when the calorie content is determined in accordance with (c)(ii) of this
				subsection.

				  the case of bulk feed the lot identifier is on a label, invoice, or shipping
				  document accompanying the feed.
"Processed,"
as applied to animal waste, means
				  thermally dehydrated, dry-stacked, ensiled, oxidized, chemically treated,
				  microbiologically digested, chemically or physically fractionated, or treated
