Quarterly Tips on Commercial Feed Labeling: Feeding Directions
The Safe Animal Feed Education (SAFE) program has devoted resources to educate industry members on proper labeling practices for commercial livestock feed. Resources include an invitation to email safe@cdfa.ca.gov to receive educational label consultation by a SAFE staff member, as well as publication of the California Commercial Feed Labeling Guide, Label Review Checklist, and Medicated Feed Label Guide. However, there will always be questions and nuances regarding feed labeling. On a quarterly basis, SAFE will share tips to address various label questions and bring awareness to proper labeling practices. This quarter, we will clarify adequate directions for use on feed labels.
