Pet Food Maker Needs Emergency Permit/Canned Foods/Interstate Commerce

Excerpt: "Evanger's Dog & Cat Food Co., Inc. has been told by the Food
and Drug Administration (FDA) that it must have an emergency permit for its canned pet foods to transported and sold from state-to-state. According to the FDA, a recent inspection found that the company's processes, equipment and recordkeeping throughout the production of its thermally low acid canned food (LACF) products deviated significantly from prescribed documentation.


The identified shortcomings could lead to the under-processing of pet foods, raising the risk of survival and growth of Clostridium botulinum (C. botulinum). C. botulinum is a botulism causing bacterium which under anaerobic conditions produces a toxin in the food - causing serious illness in animals and humans."
