It is the program-level basis for the detailed requirements codified in 21 CFR Part 507 (see `mfg_food_safety_us_cfr_507`).\n\nA core requirement: `Every facility that produces animal food with a hazard requiring a preventive control must have a recall plan`. The rule builds a facility food-safety system around hazard analysis and preventive controls rather than end-product testing.\n\nPet-food relevance: this is the statutory/agency framing behind the US pet-food manufacturing-safety regime — the rule FDA enforces against US pet-food and animal-feed facilities. Companion guidance documents (Guidance for Industry #245/#246) operationalise the supply-chain program and hazard-analysis expectations.\n\nSource: `pdf-raw/mfg-food-safety/us_fda_fsma_animal_food.html` (FDA, landed 2026-08-09).\n## Claims (verified C1 substrings of source_file)\n- `FSMA Final Rule for Preventive Controls for Animal Food`\n- `Every facility that produces animal food with a hazard requiring a preventive control must have a recall plan`\n","sources":["eCFR 21 CFR Part 507 — FSMA Final Rule for Preventive Controls for Animal Food (retrieved 2026-08-09)"],"source":{"authority":"eCFR 21 CFR Part 507","title":"FSMA Final Rule for Preventive Controls for Animal Food","url":"https://www.fda.gov/animal-veterinary/fda-animal-feed-safety-system-afss/food-safety-modernization-act-fsma-preventive-controls-animal-food","retrieved":"2026-08-09","ref":"Reg (EC) 183/2005","doc_type":"official PDF","source_document":"FDA — FSMA Final Rule for Preventive Controls for Animal Food","verification_file":"pdf-raw/mfg-food-safety/us_fda_fsma_animal_food.html"},"source_document":"FDA — FSMA Final Rule for Preventive Controls for Animal Food","source_file":"pdf-raw/mfg-food-safety/us_fda_fsma_animal_food.html","trust":{"authority_tier":"ungraded","fidelity":"verbatim","license":"public_domain","display_grade":"pending"},"tokens_estimated":210,"generated_at":null,"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."}
