AOAC (Association of Analytical Chemists) International has worked to develop new methods to determine/report sugars in animal, pet and human food and fructans in animal and pet food. The proposed new methodology is available for comment. Please see the links and provide comments by the dates listed. Once finalized, these methods will become the laboratory standard nationally and internationally thus, possibly, having impact on your products. This is a great opportunity to provide feedback.
The link for public comment on the draft Standard Method Performance Requirements (SMPR) for Sugars in Animal Feed, Pet Food, and Human Food is found here: https://www.aoac.org/AOAC_Prod_Imis/AOAC_Member/ANews/2018_News/NEWS_011818.aspx. From that page, please access the draft SMPR and provide comment asap and before February 23.
