The notification inserts a new policy condition for the export of raw materials used in pet food production. These materials, including meat, offal, bones, and other organs, must be sourced from integrated abattoirs or municipal slaughterhouses registered with APEDA. The raw materials are required to undergo post-mortem inspection and segregation by a designated veterinary authority to ensure their suitability for non-human consumption. A certificate to this effect must be issued by veterinarians registered under the Indian Veterinary Council Act, who are employed by the slaughtering unit and supervised by the state/UT’s veterinary authority.
