To prevent the establishment and amplification of Bovine Spongiform
Encephalopathy (BSE) through animal feed in the United States,
FDA implemented a final rule that prohibits the use of most
mammalian protein in feeds for ruminant animals. This rule,
21 CFR Part 589.2000
of the Code of Federal Regulations, became effective on August
4, 1997 (here called the BSE/Ruminant Feed regulation.) Inspections of renderers, feed mills, ruminant
feeders, protein blenders, pet food manufacturers, pet food
salvagers, animal feed distributors and transporters, ruminant
feeders, and others have been conducted to determine compliance
with the BSE/Ruminant Feed regulations. The information presented
here is derived from the FDA's database of inspection results.
The FDA's December 1998 enforcement
plan for the ruminant feed rule includes education as well
as inspections. Firms that are found to be in violation of any
of the provisions of the regulation are re-inspected to determine
if they have corrected the violations. Many of the firms have
committed to implementing the regulation, so there are higher
levels of compliance at the time of the follow-up inspection.
Inspectional findings and observations are entered into the
FDA BSE/Ruminant Feed inspection database. The database is dynamic,
with new information being entered on a continual basis. Each
entry in the database represents the results of an individual
inspection as was captured on the BSE/Ruminant
Feed Inspection Checklist. Firm operations and compliance
status may change over time. All suggested revisions to the
data should be directed to the appropriate FDA District Office.
The inspectional information presented here is updated on a
weekly basis. The search results are available in a webpage
(.html), or the entire database is available in a spreadsheet
(.xls) format.
