## Summary

**A new regulatory pathway for zootechnical animal food substances.** This bill would create a distinct category for substances added to animal feed or water that change the gut microbiome or cut foodborne pathogens, and it would treat those substances as food additives with safety and labeling rules rather than as drugs. - Farmers and food-animal producers: Substances intended to reduce foodborne pathogens in animals destined for food are classed as zootechnical animal food substances and would be regulated under food additive rules, with labeling limits on disease-treatment claims. - Feed manufacturers and ingredient developers: Makers must meet food additive safety and labeling requirements and cannot market these substances as diagnosing or treating animal disease. - Regulators and choice rights: The Food and Drug Administration would implement the new rules under section 409 of the FD&C Act and the bill forbids requiring producers to use any zootechnical substance.

## Provisions PRIA read

- New FDA rules for animal feed additives: benefit, high. This bill would create a new class of gut-targeted animal feed substances.
