{"topic_id":"FDA_CVM_petfood_oversight","category":"fda","context":"FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM, established 1984) is the primary FDA center responsible for pet food safety oversight. CVM jurisdiction: pet food (dogs, cats, other companion animals), animal drugs, medicated feeds, veterinary devices. CVM does NOT have jurisdiction over feed for food-producing animals destined for human consumption — that is shared with FDA Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN). CVM's Office of Surveillance and Compliance handles: (1) pet food adverse event reporting (click here for pet food complaint portal — over 1,000 formal complaints logged in 2025); (2) inspection of pet food manufacturing facilities; (3) recall authority for non-compliant pet foods; (4) AAFCO coordination on nutrient profiles. CVM has 130 staff and approximately USD 25M annual budget for pet food oversight.\n","sources":["generated from .md only"],"tokens_estimated":161,"generated_at":"2026-07-16","tip":"Use /api/v1/topics to discover more topics. /api/v1/nutrient for precise single-point queries. /api/v1/cross_compare for 2-3 standard comparisons."}
