AAFCO Guidelines Allow Misleading Dental Claims on Pet Foods, Raising Consumer Concerns

AAFCO Guidelines Allow Misleading Dental Claims on Pet Foods, Raising Consumer Concerns

The Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) has been criticized for its guidelines that allow pet food manufacturers to make potentially misleading dental health claims. According to a report, AAFCO's guidelines state that enforcement of claims related to the abrasive action of pet food on dental health is a low priority. This has led to manufacturers making claims about the dental benefits of their products without the need for validation or approval from the Veterinary Oral Health Council (VOHC). For instance, Mars Petcare claims that the crunchy texture of its dry dog food helps clean dogs' teeth, a statement not backed by VOHC approval. This situation has raised concerns among pet owners who rely on these claims to make informed decisions about their pets' health.

Israeli Police Conclude Probe into Military Prosecutor Leak, Withhold Findings

The Israeli police have concluded their investigation into the leak of CCTV footage from the Sde Teiman detention facility, involving former military advocate-general Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi. Despite completing the probe, Police Commissioner Danny Levy has decided not to transfer the investigation materials to Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara.
