AFSS is the FDA’s program for animal feed aimed at
protecting human and animal health by ensuring safe feeds.

It includes

ingredients and mixed feeds at all stages of manufacture, distribution, and use,
whether at commercial or non-commercial establishments.

The draft
document week defines feed as mixed feed as well as feed ingredients. It covers
the entire spectrum of Agency activities from pre-approval of food additives and
drugs for use in feed, to establishing limits on feed contaminants, providing
education and training and conducting inspections and taking enforcement for
ensuring compliance with Agency regulations.
