Minnesota Administrative Rules

1540.4070 DISTINGUISHING DOG FOOD OR OTHER ANIMAL FOOD FROM HUMAN FOOD.

Dog food or other animal food prepared in whole or in part from materials derived from cattle, sheep, swine, goats, or horses, shall be distinguished from articles of human food so as to avoid the distribution of such animal food as human food. To accomplish this, labeling of hermetically sealed, retort processed, conventional retail size containers as, for example, "dog food" will be considered sufficient. If not in such containers, the product must not only be properly identified, but it must be of such character or so treated (denatured or decharacterized) as to be readily distinguishable from an article of human food. Dog food shall not be represented as being a human food.
