Current Good Manufacturing Practice Regulations for Medicated Feed

This ICR concerns the recordkeeping requirements of FDA’s current good manufacturing practice (cGMP) regulations for medicated feeds. Medicated feeds are administered to animals for the prevention, cure, mitigation, or treatment of disease, or growth promotion and feed efficiency. A manufacturer is required to establish, maintain, and retain records for a medicated feed, including records to document procedures required during the manufacturing process to assure that proper quality control is maintained. Such records would, for example, contain information concerning receipt and inventory of drug components, batch production, laboratory assay results (i.e. batch and stability testing), labels, and product distribution. These records are subject to FDA review during an inspection. Medicated feeds that are not manufactured in accordance with these regulations are considered adulterated under section 501(a)(2)(B) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
