One company uses water buffalo as their primary ingredient, then adds three percent bison and markets their product as &#8220;Made with Roasted Bison.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Ingredients Definition Committee of the American Association of Feed Control Officials will be discussing this issue at the AAFCO annual meeting July 30 &#8211; Aug. 1. The model regulations established by AAFCO serve as the basis for state and federal regulators in enforcing pet food products.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Listed below is the contact information for all of the members of the AAFCO Ingredients Definition Committee. If one or more of those officials are from your state, please contact them immediately.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s what to include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>One sentence introducing yourself and your leadership position in the bison business.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A short statement noting that the pet food industry is increasingly seeking bison ingredients for their treats and food products.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Because of the tight supply of bison ingredients, some companies are using water buffalo, and simply listing it as \u201cbuffalo.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In the United States, the overwhelming majority of citizens interpret the word \u201cbuffalo\u201d to mean bison.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pet food ingredient definitions should assure that the pet food customer is not subject to labeling terms that are deceptive or misleading.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is the full list of Committee members:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>CALIFORNIA<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Kent Kitade<\/strong><br>PO Box 22101<br>Sacramento, CA 95822-0101<br>United States<br>916-207-0928 (Phone)<br>kentkitade@gmail.com<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>IDAHO<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Nathan Price<\/strong><br>Ag.
