Why does the FDA warn about raw dog food, but not kibble?

Описание: Why does the FDA warn about raw dog food, but not kibble?

If raw feeding makes biological sense for dogs, why do public health agencies issue warnings about it? And why don’t we see the same language on processed pet food?

In this episode of The Pet Food Files, Dr. Ghunaim (PhD, MSc, BVSc) explains:

What the FDA’s actual mandate is

Why raw food triggers public health warnings

The difference between regulatory safety and biological safety

Why kibble fits more easily into industrial risk models

What FDA warnings are designed to evaluate — and what they are not

This video is not about dismissing food safety.
It’s about understanding the lens through which safety is assessed.

The FDA evaluates population-level human exposure risk, not species-specific digestive biology. Once you understand that distinction, the warnings stop feeling contradictory — and start making sense.

In the next video, we’ll explore how a dog’s digestive system handles bacteria compared to humans — and why that biological context matters.

Clarity comes before change.
Understanding always comes before action.
