The responsibility for safety
of biological products falls on the shoulders of the United States
Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) and the Association of American
Feed Control Officials (AAFCO).
Any company that produces
biological products may elect to certify their products to use only
those bacterial strains listed on the Generally Regarded as Safe
(GRAS) listing authored by the FDA and/or the Association of American
Feed Control Officials (AAFCO).
Many companies do not certify
to this standard through lack of proof and/or adequate testing measures.
Misrepresentation of this certification carries both civil and/or
criminal penalties.
These regulatory agencies
are the American consumer’s only assurance that a bacterial product
is safe.
All Hydro Engineering Inc.
biological products are certified to use bacterial organisms found
on both, the GRAS and AAFCO lists. |
