Do private label cat treats need to meet AAFCO standards?

Cat treats are regulated as animal food, and most U.S. states follow AAFCO model regulations. Your label needs a guaranteed analysis, an ingredient list in descending order, net weight, and a manufacturer or distributor address. Many manufacturers on AJ Cosmo Labs help build AAFCO-aligned labels and confirm they operate in FDA-registered facilities, which saves you costly relabels.
