Beware of AAFCO standards, as adherence to an AAFCO guideline is voluntary. Unless you see an AAFCO seal on a product, the manufacturer is not necessarily following their guidelines. The following quote is from the AAFCO website current News and Information page article, titled "AAFCO Strategy for Marketed Ingredient (ESMI) Working Group." "AAFCO is not a regulatory agency, but is an association of Federal and State officials that provide a forum to deliberate and discuss issues affecting the sale and distribution of animal feed."
