Pet Food Labeling: A Practical Checklist

Pet food labels are scrutinized by regulators and consumers. Here’s a practical checklist to stay compliant.

What must be on the label

Product name, guaranteed analysis, nutritional adequacy statement, ingredient list, and net quantity are standard. Claims (e.g. “organic,” “grain-free”) may have additional rules.

Common mistakes

Wrong rounding, outdated adequacy statements, or mismatched ingredient lists and formulas lead to recalls. Linking your formulation to label content reduces errors.
