Food quality Dogfood ?

Advertisements claiming to promote "100% food quality dog food" have become increasingly frequent in the recent past.Given that regulations govern clearly the difference between food fit for human consumption and pet foods such descriptions are more than questionable.

The production of dog food is strictly controlled under the law. There is a requirement that all dog food production facilities are initially inspected and certified for such production and regular follow up inspections are made by the appropriate authorities. In addition it is strictly forbidden to manufacture food for human consumption and dog foodwithin the same manufacturing unit.

The authorities here go even further in that any piece of meat that is treated in any way within a certified pet food facility is automatically classified as an "Animal Byproduct". To be absolutely clear about this, were I to cross the threshold of our production facility with a prime quality Argentinian steak, this juicy filet steak would by definition turn into simple "Animal Byproduct".
