FDA Announces Reporting Tool for Problems Associated with Livestock Animal Food

The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the availability of a new website that will be available for the public to report problems associated with livestock animal food.

The Livestock Food Reporting portal will accept reports about foods made for species considered to be livestock, including but not limited to, horses, cattle, swine, poultry and fish. FDA encourages anyone with concerns about animal feed to file a report, including veterinarians and livestock producers. This new online portal provides an additional means for consumers to register complaints, and FDA's District Office consumer complaint coordinators will continue to accept reports via phone.
