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.
