AI Summary

This bill, the Innovative FEED Act, amends the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to regulate "zootechnical animal food substances." These are substances added to animal food or water that are intended to affect the digestive process, reduce foodborne pathogens, or alter the animal's gastrointestinal microbiome, but not to treat disease or act as a hormone or drug. The bill defines these substances as food additives, requiring petitions to the FDA with data on their intended effects and safety. It also mandates specific labeling requirements, and clarifies that the Secretary of Health and Human Services cannot require the use of these substances.
