FDA Compliance for Pet Food & Animal Feed Manufacturers
Selling pet food, treats, or animal feed into the U.S. means satisfying two rulebooks at once: the FDA's (facility registration, FSMA animal-food preventive controls, safe ingredients) and the state-level AAFCO framework (labeling, ingredient definitions, guaranteed analysis). Axentra handles both sides for foreign manufacturers — registration, U.S. Agent, labels, and import readiness — under one flat fee.
Who must register
Any foreign facility that manufactures, processes, packs, or holds pet food, treats, chews, supplements for animals, or feed ingredients for U.S. distribution must register with the FDA as a food facility (Bioterrorism Act; 21 CFR 1.225) and appoint a U.S. Agent. Registration renews biennially Oct 1–Dec 31 of even years — including 2026.
