“The Pet Food Institute, whose members make the vast majority of dog and cat food and treats in the U.S., applauds the U.S. House of Representatives for passing the MAWS Act, which establishes a pilot program enabling pet food makers to use Chesapeake Bay blue catfish as a high-quality ingredient in complete and balanced cat and dog food,” said PFI’s president and CEO, Elise Fennig. “PFI thanks Reps. Sarah Elfreth and Rob Wittman for their leadership in advancing legislation that opens the door to a potential new pet food ingredient market while also offering local economic impact and environmental benefit. We urge the Senate to act swiftly to pass the MAWS Act and send it to the President’s desk.”
