Given that now, there are strict verbatim rules for the purpose statement on the PDP, does the product name in the Nutritional Adequacy Statement (NAS) in the Nutrition Facts need to include that purpose statement? For example: Real Yummy Lamb & Rice Recipe is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for maintenance. OR Real Yummy Lamb & Rice Recipe Complete Adult Dog Food is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for maintenance. This isn’t a new part of the regulations, but now that there is very specific language for the purpose statement it brings more attention to this part of the NAS. Yes, the regulations say product name has meant the complete product name. However, NAS has been done several acceptable ways in the past. There isn’t a specific statement other than the (name of product), so we have to look for guidance information. For example, take a look, if you have a copy, at the Pet Food Labeling Guide Label examples in the back. 4
