Technical Info

The Pet Food Industry Association of Australia has an objective to promote best practice and the adoption of the responsible corporate standards relating to labelling, marketing and nutritional design and claims of petfood.

To this end the Association has developed its Code of Practice designed to promote those objectives within the industry, with the aim of protecting the interests of consumers and the public and to enhance goodwill towards the industry.

The American Association of Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) has convened expert committees to review petfood nutritional recommendations and to devise a set of standards that were of practical value to pet food manufacturers. These are the guidelines on which our Code of Practice is based.

Our members undertake to adhere to these standards.
