AI Summary
This bill, the Innovative FEED Act of 2023 or the Innovative Feed Enhancement and Economic Development Act of 2023, amends the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to define and regulate "zootechnical animal food substances." These are substances added to animal food or water to affect the animals' digestive processes, reduce foodborne pathogens, or alter their gastrointestinal microbiome, but not for the purpose of treating disease or providing nutrition. The bill requires these substances to be regulated as food additives, with specific labeling requirements, and gives the Secretary of Health and Human Services the authority to establish conditions for their safe use. The bill also clarifies that the Secretary cannot require the use of these substances.
