      About the Pet Food Label Generator

      Formulating commercial animal feed and treats requires precise nutritional reporting to ensure pet safety. Built for pet treat artisans and feed manufacturers, our pet food label generator structures your packaging to meet rigorous AAFCO guidelines. Accurately display your Guaranteed Analysis, calculate caloric content, and position the mandatory nutritional adequacy statements to ensure your products pass state regulatory reviews.

      How it works

      1. Enter your product name, target species, and net weight.
      2. Input laboratory test results for crude protein, crude fat, crude fiber, and moisture to generate the Guaranteed Analysis.
      3. List your ingredients in descending order of predominance by weight, using official AAFCO ingredient names.
      4. Select the appropriate Nutritional Adequacy Statement (e.g., intermittent feeding, all life stages).
      5. Generate your comprehensive, state-compliant pet food label.

      Frequently asked questions

      What is AAFCO and why do I need to follow their rules?

      AAFCO (Association of American Feed Control Officials) is an advisory body whose model regulations are adopted by most individual US states to govern the sale and labeling of animal feed and pet food.

      What must be included in a Guaranteed Analysis?

      At a minimum, the Guaranteed Analysis must list the minimum percentage of crude protein, minimum percentage of crude fat, maximum percentage of crude fiber, and maximum percentage of moisture.

      Do pet treats require a nutritional adequacy statement?

      Pet treats and snacks typically do not require full feeding trials or formulation to meet specific life stage profiles, but they must state they are intended for intermittent or supplemental feeding only.

      Can I use common names for ingredients on pet food labels?

      You must use the standardized ingredient names defined by AAFCO. If an ingredient does not have an official AAFCO definition, you must use its common or usual name, but fanciful or marketing names are prohibited in the ingredient list.
