Import Tips

Ensure labeling complies with FDA infant food standards, including nutritional info and 'suitable for children under 1 year' declarations

Provide certificates of analysis confirming homogenization and meat content to avoid reclassification as general prepared meat

Verify country of origin documentation, as certain meat sources may trigger additional USDA import restrictions
