First Consent Decree Made Against Animal Food Manufacturer for Endangering Public Safety
A recent consent decree of permanent injunction between the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Bravo Packing Inc. marks the first time an action of this kind has been taken against an animal food manufacturer for violating public safety standards.
Bravo Packing Inc., which manufactures dog food, agreed to cease selling, manufacturing, and distributing raw dog food until sufficient precautions against product contamination are established. The consent decree also allows FDA to mandate a future shutdown, recall, or other corrective action if necessary, and requires Bravo Packing Inc. to pay for the cost of inspections conducted.
