China's Elusive Pet Food Regulation

China's Elusive Pet Food Regulation

Covington's John Balzano writes on Chinese pet food regulation for Forbes. 

"Long-term, all-too-frequent, and severe safety issues with pet treats and pet food coming from China have led to serious questions about the state of China’s pet food regulations. The answer to those questions may be fairly simple: China does not have a significant body of pet food law, regulations, and standards. What it does have is hard to find and scattered within regulations and standards administered by different agencies, with no one agency taking the lead in resolving problems."
