New food safety regulations, especially the Food Safety Modernization Act of 2011 (FSMA), require animal feed and ingredient processing facilities to evaluate their ingredients and processes for the presence of hazards that could impact food safety.
In a new factsheet series from the NC State Animal Food Safety program, we’ll explore:
- different hazards that could be present in animal food ingredients and products, and
- how consumers and processors can protect their animals and products from these potential hazards.
It’s important for those responsible for the implementation of food safety programs (Preventive Controls Qualified Individuals) to be aware of food safety hazards that could be present in their ingredients, products and facility.

The first factsheet in the series is all about aflatoxins. The factsheet includes
- definitions,
- health impacts on animals,
- mitigation guidelines for producers and
- tips for how consumers can keep themselves – and their pets – safe.
This factsheet covers the guidelines and mitigation for aflatoxins in animal food in North Carolina. Aflatoxins and Animal Food Safety
