Which regulation covers Current Good Manufacturing Practices, Hazard Analysis, and Risk-Based Preventive Controls for foods for animals?

• A. 21 CFR Part 507
• B. 21 CFR Part 117
• C. 9 CFR Part 416
• D. 9 CFR Part 381

Answer: (A)

The regulation that covers Current Good Manufacturing Practices, Hazard Analysis, and Risk-Based Preventive Controls for foods for animals is the FDA rule dedicated to animal foods. It appears in 21 CFR Part 507 and specifically addresses pet foods, feeds, and other animal-origin products, laying out the CGMP requirements, the requirement to conduct a hazard analysis, and the need for a risk-based preventive controls system, including monitoring, verification, supplier controls, and a recall plan. This rule was created under the FDA’s framework to ensure the safety of animal foods as part of the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act. For comparison, 21 CFR Part 117 applies to human foods, while 9 CFR Part 416 and 9 CFR Part 381 are USDA rules covering meat and poultry products, not general animal foods.
