On March 17, the US House passed the Mitigation Action and Waterman Support (MAWS) Act, seeking to create a market for invasive blue catfish in the pet food and animal feed industry. The act will now move onto a Senate vote.
“The Pet Food Institute, whose members make the vast majority of dog and cat food and treats in the United States, applauds the US 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 Elise Fennig, who was recently named new president and chief executive officer of PFI.
