Based in Carpinteria, Calif., Pete's grows lettuce and greens in hydroponic greenhouses. The company's initial $20 million investment will develop three acres of a 24-acre site. At build-out, the company will have 24 greenhouses in operation at the site, which is adjacent to a 60,000-square-foot distribution center built by Pure Flavor in 2019. Pure Flavor was the first greenhouse operation to locate in the area. Georgia is the first stop of a nationwide expansion for Pete's, said CEO Brian Cook. "We're planting flags across the United States, and this is flag two," he said. Pete's is the successor to Hollandia Produce, founded in 1970. An employee-owned company, Pete's grows lettuce and cress and sells fresh salad mixes under the Pete's Greenhouse Fresh brand. BJ Walker, executive director of the Peach County Development Authority, said the combination of Pete's and Pure Flavor marks a turning point for middle Georgia. While already home to various row-crop operations, middle Georgia is also a natural for See PETE'S, page 14 Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Gary W. Black and State Rep. Robert Dickey, chair of the House Agriculture and Consumer Affairs Committee, helped Pete's break ground on a new greenhouse site in Peach County July 7.

If an applicant has no employment histo- ry, they are asked to include a reference from a professor directly involved in the completion of their veterinary degree program. Program highlights: GVELRP incentivizes Georgia veterinarians who agree to devote 20 per hours per week, in designated rural counties with populations of 35,000 or less, for one year to food animal veterinary services. The 2021 Georgia General Assembly approved $90,000 for program funding, allowing up to $18,000 award payments for up to five award recipients.

PAGE 8 FARMERS AND CONSUMERS MARKET BULLETIN 404-656-3722 agr.georgia.gov WEDNESDAY, JULY 28, 2021 Mercer Medical Moment: Warning signs and symptoms of heat-related illness By Adam Howard, ATC Second-Year MD Student Mercer University School of Medicine, Savannah Campus It's summertime and with the longer days come higher temperatures. Whether you are outside enjoying your favorite outdoor activities or continuing to work, everyone outside is subject to the high temperatures and humidity, so we all need to be aware of the potential for heat-related illness. Prevention Try to avoid strenuous activity during the hottest part of the day, generally 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Make yourself aware of heat advisories and modify your activity to accommodate for high temperatures and humidity. Take time to acclimate yourself to activity in high temperatures by gradually increasing your time and amount of activity outside. Wear lightweight, loose-fitting clothing and be sure to wear sunscreen. Stay hydrated and pack plenty of water for your outdoor adventures. Avoid alcohol and sugary drinks. Learn the signs and symptoms of heat-related illnesses Heat-related illness can happen to any person and can progress to be a life-threatening condition. Using strategies to prevent heat-related illness, knowing the signs and symptoms, and knowing what to do if heat-related illness occurs can save someone from serious injury or death. Below are the signs and symptoms of common heat-related illness and what to do if any of these illnesses should occur. Heat Cramps Signs: o Heavy sweating, muscle pain, and muscle spasms What to do: o Stop physical activity, move to a cool environment (shade or air conditioning), drink water or a sports drink, wait for cramps to stop before resuming activity. o Seek medical attention if your symptoms last longer than one hour, if you are on a low-sodium diet, or if you have other health problems like heart disease. Heat Exhaustion Signs: o Heavy sweating; cold, pale, and clammy skin; fast and weak pulse; nausea and/or vomiting; muscle cramps, fatigue, dizziness, headache, fainting. What to do: o Move to a cool environment (shade or air conditioning), slowly sip on water, loosen your clothes, immerse in cool water, or use ice bags to cool the body. o Seek medical attention if vomiting, if symptoms worsen, or if symptoms don't begin to improve within one hour. Heat Stroke Signs: o Body temperature of 103 degrees Fahrenheit or higher; hot, red, dry, or damp skin; fast and strong pulse; headache, dizziness; nausea and/or vomiting; confusion, loss of consciousness What to do o Immediately seek medical attention by calling 911. o Move the person to a cool environment and help to lower their body temperature with ice bags, loosen clothing, and immerse in cool water if possible. o Do not give oral fluids to drink.

Larry For The Country: I miss back when By Larry Walker lwalker@whgmlaw.com It was a Sunday, Father's Day, June 19, 2021, and as I drove home from the Perry United Methodist Church, it was raining, and had been raining for several days. We would end up with about four inches of rain. I was proud to get it. To me, it seems to rain more on Sundays than any other day of the week. I know that is probably not so, but since I take rain as a blessing, I'm going to continue to think, as I have done until now and for several years before we've gotten more much needed rain on Sundays. Regardless, I am always appreciative of a good rain. In addition to it being Sunday, rain, and Father's Day, and is the Methodist way, we had just been sent a new preacher with a wife and four young children from the South Georgia Conference. Tom Carruth, age 44, is our new senior pastor/ preacher. Let me tell you that Tom Carruth's first sermon was, as I told him as I exited the sanctuary and shook his hand, "strong as pot ash" (which is obtained from wood ashes, not marijuana). Likewise, our choir, always good, was excellent. So, all in all, a good start to my day. As I drove home, and again as I am want to do, I was lis- tening to 104.9 FM country radio from Milan, Georgia. This is where I am usually tuned. The Milan station plays country classics, and I really like the station. I was just pulling into our carport when Tim McGraw's classic, (I Miss) Back When, came on. I turned the volume up and sat in my pickup listening to every word. And, in a flash, I was big-time missing back when. I guess that is what old folks do miss back when. But when you are old and realize what a mess our country and world are in, I think you are justified in wishing lots of things were like they used to be, back when so to speak. McGraw sings about peanuts in a bottle, sitting around the table, the old-fashioned way of life, records black and shiny, local radio stations that played them, back when a hoe was a hoe and Coke was a Coke. Let me add to McGraw's recollection of back when. I miss sitting on the front porch with my grandparents (no air conditioning but we did have fans and rockers) and listening to the old folks talking (the children didn't say much) and learning from them. Learning about honesty, helping the less fortunate, the importance of the church and God, etc. And, politeness, waiting your turn, the importance of learning hard work, and perhaps most importantly, the necessity of talking to God prayer. And, I miss having people with whom I can visit. I used to know almost all of the merchants in Perry, and I would go by and just visit, and maybe cash a check and perhaps buy a shirt or shoes with the volunteered proprietor statement: "Larry, you can pay me next week or when you get the money." And I remember Daddy's admonition that "we do business locally and prefer to do business with folks that do business with us." Frankly, in my 56 years of practicing law, I have never had Walmart, Lowes, or Amazon do any business with me. And I miss back when you could go to Perry's Coffee Cup early in the morning and help solve our country's problems (the good Lord knows that His help is needed, and He wants us to call on Him.) And I miss back when a schoolteacher or a high political figure would say, when times were tough, "Let's pray about it." And I miss back when, as Daddy thought and said, "the family was so important." And it was and is. And I miss back when Daddy and Mother had their rules and we were expected to abide by them, and we did. And we ate what Mother cooked and we ate everything that was put on our plates and always told Mother how much we enjoyed it. And we kept our hair cut, polished our shoes, and tried to look as neat and good as we could. I could go on and on, but you get the picture. The bottom line is that, like Tim McGraw, I miss back when. And I know that some will say, or at least think, "Larry, at your age, I expected you to talk about how things used to be." Well, let me respond again with I miss back then, and I know that in many ways, things were better back then. Thanks Tim McGraw. You hit the nail on the head. Georgie's Drive Thru Dublin Hello! I'm Georgie, the Georgia Grown mascot. I travel the state of Georgia promoting our No. 1 industry, agriculture! This time of year, farmers need to know what the weather is going to do. If we want it to rain around here, all we have to do is just cut a couple of acres of hay down and wait. Really though, it's a tough thing to predict, so the University of Georgia started the Georgia Automated Environmental Monitoring Network back in 1991. Many of the stations were donated to UGA after they were used to check the weather for the Atlanta Olympics in 1996. In order to collect the best information possible, there are nearly 100 weather stations scattered around the state and connected by a cellular network. There is a station in every corner of the state: Attapulgus, Tiger, LaFayette, Woodbine and, of course, Dublin. There's a reading for temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind gust, wind direction, the last time it rained and how much. These stations not only check the temperature in the air, they even check it at two, four, and six inches below the soil. You can go to weather.uga. edu to find a station near you.

Pinson also said picking bugs off the plants helps. He Ayers said she has used a dishwashing solution spray for her fruit trees only with a tiny amount of soap, less than the one to two percent per gallon for insecticide soap. Adding a few drops per gallon of peppermint or rosemary oil will compensate for less soap, she said. Derek Pinson of the Wylde Center in Decatur said he uses insecticide soap and Neem oil at work and in his own garden. Both Neem oil and insecticide soap are available at many home and garden retail stores and online. The Wylde Center offers educational programs and community gardens in Decatur's Oakhurst neighborhood. The center also cultivates gardens for Farm to School programs pulled back the leaves on a yellow squash plant and pointed out a tiny beetle crawling along the stalk. He smashed it between his thumb and forefinger. Pinson said that if a gardener starts when the bugs first appear, they can reduce the infestation. That, in turn, can make insecticide soap and Neem oil more effective. "If you find their eggs, which are just tiny little yellow eggs, or the larva, learn to recognize those two and squish them, then you can usually keep the problem under control pretty easily without a huge amount of input," Pinson said. "For me, checking once a week or so probably along those lines is sufficient." The Clemson University Extension Service offers an overview of insecticidal soap in its article, Insecticidal Soaps for Garden Pest Control, Factsheet: HGIC 2771, and can be found at https://hgic.clemson.edu/. The University of Georgia Extension Service provides a guide for insect pests and instructions to treat infestations in its publication, Bulletin 1074: Control of Common Pests of Landscape Plants. The circular can be found at https://extension.uga.edu/publications/. in Atlanta and Decatur. Pinson recommended diatomaceous earth in the gardens. Market Bulletin Intern elected president of ABAC Ambassadors TIFTON Ava Jane Teasley from Covington has been selected as the president of the ABAC Ambassadors for the 2021-22 academic year at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College. "Students often choose ABAC because of its welcoming atmosphere," Teasley said. "The ambassadors play a huge role in making prospective students feel welcome. After my campus tour, I knew my home would be at ABAC as an Ambassador." Director of Marketing and Communications Lindsey Roberts, one of the advisers to the organization, said the ambassadors are a select group of students chosen for their enthusiasm, leadership ability, and communication skills who represent ABAC in Tifton and across the state of Georgia. Prior to being elected president, Teasley served as the ABAC Ambassadors' Historian and maintained the organization's social media and archives. In addition to being an ABAC Ambassador, Teasley serves as the reporter for the Agricultural Communicators of Tomorrow club. She is also a member of the Sigma Alpha sorority and the Agronomy Club. Teasley plans to graduate from ABAC in May 2022 with her bachelor's degree in agricultural communication and a minor in agribusiness. She hopes to be an agricultural lawyer in the future. Ambassador applications are available on the ABAC web site at www. abac.edu/ambassadors. Applications must be completed online by 3 p.m. on Aug. 20. For more information, contact Roberts at lroberts@abac.edu. Fall semester classes begin at ABAC on Aug. 10. Georgia Cooking: Georgia Green Tomato Pie Submitted by Shirley Ann Berry | Dalton, Ga.

VALDOSTA The USDA's Risk Management Agency reminds Georgia fresh market sweet corn and pepper growers that the final date to apply for crop insurance coverage for the 2022 crop year is July 31. Current policyholders who wish to make changes to their existing coverage also have until the July 31 sales closing date to do so. Federal crop insurance is critical to the farm safety net. It helps producers and owners manage revenue risks and strengthens the rural economy. Coverage is available for fresh market sweet corn in Colquitt, Decatur, Grady, Miller, Mitchell, Seminole, Tift, and Worth counties. Coverage is also available for peppers in Brooks, Colquitt, Cook, Echols, Grady, Lowndes, Thomas, Tift, Ware, and Worth counties. Growers are encouraged to visit their crop insurance agent soon to learn specific details for the 2022 crop year. RMA is authorizing additional flexibilities due to coronavirus while continuing to support producers, working through Approved Insurance Providers to deliver services, including processing policies, claims, and agreements. RMA staff are working with AIPs and other customers by phone, mail, and electronically to continue supporting crop insurance coverage for producers. Farmers with crop insurance questions or needs should continue to contact their insurance agents about conducting business remotely (by telephone or email). More information can be found at farmers.gov/coronavirus. Crop insurance is sold and delivered solely through private crop insurance agents. A list of crop insurance agents is available online. Producers can use the RMA cost estimator online to get a premium amount estimate of their insurance needs online. To learn more about the USDA, visit www.usda.gov.

PAGE 14 FARMERS AND CONSUMERS MARKET BULLETIN 404-656-3722 agr.georgia.gov WEDNESDAY, JULY 28, 2021 Natural resources workshop yields scholarships for two Georgia high schoolers Luca Antinozzi (Special Photo) TIFTON Every year, soil and water conservation districts in Georgia sponsor high school students to attend the Natural Resources Conservation Workshop held at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College. The five-day workshop allows students to take part in lectures and hands-on activities to boost their knowledge of Georgia's vital natural resources. It also provides them with a taste of college life while delivering valuable insight into careers in agriculture and natural resources through their advisers and instructors. Twenty-four scholarships were awarded at this year's event. The Georgia Association of Conservation Districts and soil and water conservation districts throughout Georgia partnered to provide two $6,500 scholarships to the overall highest scoring individuals at camp. These scholarships can be used at any accredited college in the state of Georgia. The recipients of the 2021 Georgia Con- servation District Scholarships are: Luca Antinozzi 12th grade, Chamblee Charter High School, DeKalb County Mallory Martin 11th grade, Villa Rica High School, Carroll County The mission of the Georgia Association of Conservation Districts is to advocate for the conservation of Georgia's natural resources by providing organization, leadership, and a unified strategic direction to the conservation districts of the state. For more information, visit them online at www.gacd.us or find them on Facebook: @GACDConserve. -Submitted by the Georgia Association of Conservation Districts Mallory Martin (Special Photo) Elementary schoolers explore soil health in STEM Challenge Three schools win for projects Georgia elementary students put their science, technology, engineering, and math skills to work this spring as they competed in the inaugural Georgia Ag Experience STEM Challenge coordinated by the Georgia Foundation for Agriculture. The Soil Health Explorers STEM Challenge, which the Georgia Association of Conservation Districts sponsored, asked students to explore how farmers and home gardeners keep the soil in their fields and gardens healthy to grow crops and vegetables. The STEM Challenge was open to third through fifthgrade classes statewide with a winner picked for each grade. Almost 50 classes registered for the challenge. Roopville Elementary's "QUEST Kids," taught by Jennifer Carroll, won the third-grade prize. Trinity Christian School's "Fourth-Grade Crusaders Team," taught by Nona Dasher, took top honors in its division. Dallas Elementary's "Venture Soil Detectives," taught by Stephanie Atkinson, won the fifth-grade competition. Roopville Elementary in Carroll County won its thirdgrade division for the authentic way the students discussed what they learned about soil health by testing the pH of their soil and consulting with a local FFA teacher and GACD staff. The Trinity Christian fourth graders in Laurens County sent a soil sample from their 8x8 garden plot to UGA for soil analysis before planting a pollinator garden for bees and butterflies. The class also made a laminated sign highlighting soil health facts that they posted at their garden plot to educate other students. The Dallas Elementary fifth graders in Paulding County won their category with a creative news-style video, Underground News Network, that depicted team members posing as reporters and soil experts being interviewed to share what they learned about soil health. Teachers of each winning class received a $250 classroom supply grant and an educational conservation resource kit donated by GACD. Each class that participated in the STEM Challenge was asked to answer the question, "How can we improve soil biodiversity and overall soil health?" The challenge required participating classes to: Develop an initial report after examining a plot of land to determine the land's soil health status by performing a series of tests on the soil; Reach out to their local Farm Bureau office, Natural Resources Conservation Service office and/or UGA Extension office for assistance to discuss soil health with their class; Create a video presentation on how they improved their soil and learned how real-world factors impact the soil on their plot of land. The purpose of the GAE STEM Challenge is to encourage elementary teachers and students in grades 3 through 5 to explore aspects of Georgia agriculture by applying their STEM skills to solve real-world problems that farmers face in producing food and fiber. It is the only ag-focused STEM challenge for elementary students in Georgia.

Hennebelle: Advocating for animal industry is a priority Continued From Page 1 After graduating in 2012, Hennebelle began working at the Georgia Department of Agriculture in December of 2013. Her career at the department started in the Meat Inspection Division as a Veterinary Supervisor. Three years later she moved to the role of Assistant State Veterinarian. Hennebelle said she is looking forward to being even more connected to and hearing from producers in her new role. "What excites me is being able to promote a point of contact for animal agriculture within the state of Georgia," Hennebelle said. "I believe there is a way to (be a) voice for the industry from the community all the way up to the national level." Professionally, Hennebelle is an active member of the American Veterinary Medical Association, Georgia Veter- inary Medical Association, United States Animal Health Association, and the National Assembly of State Animal Health Officials. She said that the things that have stuck with her throughout her career were farm visits that tested her ability to problem solve. "In this field of work, you have to be resourceful and figure out things on the fly," Hennebelle said. "Sometimes it might be you and an animal, and it is up to you to figure out the best course of action." Hennebelle succeeds Cobb, who served 10 years as State Veterinarian. She said that she must recognize his dedication to public service. "Dr. Cobb has made sure I would be equipped for this role, and we worked well together," she said. Pete's: 15 new jobs will result Continued From Page 1 controlled agriculture because of its infrastructure and location along Interstate 75. "Logistically we're kind of in the sweet spot where people in the food business want to be located," Walker said. "Locating here is about as far north as you can go and still serve the entire state of Florida." Pete's is aiming to serve the Southeast, including Georgia, Florida, Alabama, the Carolinas and the Gulf Coast, Cook said. The company is eager to market its produce using the Georgia Grown logo, he said. "When we landed on the state of Georgia (as a second location), one of the biggest reasons was the work the folks were doing at Georgia Grown and the strength of the Georgia Grown label," Cook said. Pete's will create 15 new jobs in Peach County. WEDNESDAY, JULY 28, 2021 FARMERS AND CONSUMERS MARKET BULLETIN 404-656-3722 agr.georgia.gov PAGE 15 New exhibit at Georgia Capitol Museum celebrates agriculture By Jennifer A. Whittaker and Maria M. Lameiras Under the golden dome of the Georgia State Capitol, a new exhibit in the Georgia Capitol Museum shines a spotlight on agriculture in Georgia. The exhibit is designed to educate visitors on the importance of the state's No. 1 industry. The Georgia Capitol Museum is a unit of the University of Georgia's Richard B. Russell Library for Political Research and Studies, which rallied a team of UGA historians and archivists to create "From Your Farm to Your Table," a permanent exhibit to highlight the influence of agribusiness on Georgia's economy and culture. Karin Johnston Dalton, museum registrar and collection and exhibitions manager for the Georgia Capitol Museum, said the idea for the agriculture exhibit came from Georgia Sen. Valencia Seay (D Riverdale), who sponsored a bipartisan bill to create this exhibit. The bill was passed by the Georgia General Assembly in 2014 and signed by then-Governor Nathan Deal. "Senator Seay feels she has really learned a lot about agriculture [during] her time in the Senate, and she wanted children especially those from urban settings to learn not only where our food comes from, but [also] that agriculture could be a viable career path for them," Dalton said. The colorful exhibit highlights the seasons in which various Georgia crops are harvested as well as some of the ways farmers use technology, including the use of apps and drones to monitor crops for diseases and pests and to conserve water. The exhibit includes an interactive kiosk where students can explore games and videos featuring interviews with urban farmers in and around the Atlanta area. The drone featured in the exhibit was donated by Andrew Paterson, UGA Regents Professor and director of the UGA Plant Genome Mapping Laboratory, and Changying Li, professor and head of the UGA Phenomics and Plant Robotics Center. The drone was used to monitor the growth of cotton plants in plant genetics research at the Iron Horse Farm, which is part of UGA's College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences. UGA Libraries staff involved in creating the exhibit included Sheryl Vogt, director of the Russell Library and the Georgia Capitol Museum; Ashton Ellett, politics and public policy archivist for the Russell Library; and Karin Dalton. UGA Libraries' science research and instruction librarian and subject liaison to CAES Kelsey Forester, along with Bryce Trotter and Jennifer Somers of the Georgia Depart- ment of Agriculture, who assisted with fact-checking the text, Dalton said. The design for the new exhibit is an update to the Capitol Museum exhibits, which were last renovated in the late 1990s, Dalton added. Seay hosted an unveiling ceremony for the exhibit on June 4 for members of the Georgia Legislature and Capitol staff. Seay, who grew up in Atlanta, was first introduced to agriculture while serving on the Georgia House Agriculture and Consumer Affairs Committee before being elected to the Senate. She remembers traveling to Middle Georgia with other House Agriculture Committee members to see peaches picked and processed at Lane Orchards. Several years ago, she attended an Urban Ag Academy hosted by Iowa State University for urban legislators. "I saw an autonomous tractor equipped with the latest technology going down corn fields as far as the eye [could] see, beaming back data about the crop and soil. I was fascinated as was my grandson, who went with me," Seay recalled. "Most kids are not aware of basic agriculture, much less the technology being used in agriculture today. It came to me that we needed an exhibit at the Capitol that would highlight Georgia agriculture. My grandkids gave me the idea for it to be an interactive display with games kids can play because they were born into technology." Seay credits the late Sen. Jack Hill for helping her secure money from the state's budget for the exhibit as well as UGA Librarian and Associate Provost Toby Graham and his team for bringing her idea for the exhibit to life. "I gave them [UGA Library team] the idea and they pulled it all together," Seay said. "There's a lot of information in that display, and there's a teaching element to the display that teachers can use to get their kids involved with the interactive computer game kids can play. My grandson loved playing to get his score up." Dalton said the display is the latest for the museum, which is charged with collecting, maintaining, and exhibiting significant artifacts within the State Capitol. "There is information on what crops are popular in Georgia and text panels telling the story of the state's agriculture, including all of the new technologies that are being used," Dalton said. "We also have information on how to plant, nourish and harvest crops, as well as interviews with chefs from Atlanta-area restaurants to learn how the food grown is made into the dishes they serve." Before COVID-19, about 25,000 people booked guided tours of the Georgia Capitol each year. Thousands more Georgians visit the Capitol while the Georgia General Assembly is in session for 40 days during mid-January to April. At this time, all guided tours of the Capitol are suspended until further notice, per the museum website, but the Capitol is open for self-guided tours. All Capitol tours are free.

What you should know before feeding a raw meat-based diet to your pets By Emily Treon emily.treon@agr.georgia.gov Raw meat-based diets are an increasingly popular style of feeding for pets that consists of untreated/uncooked muscle meat, bone, or organ meats from mammals, fish, or poultry. The desire to feed more natural diets to dogs and cats has been a rising consumer demand over the past few years. The American Association of Feed Control Officials, which serves to create and uphold feed laws and regulations, defines the term natural as "a feed or ingredient derived solely from plant, animal, or mined sources...not having been produced by or subject to a chemically synthetic process and not containing any additives or processing aids that are chemically synthetic except in amounts as might occur unavoidably in good manufacturing practices." Many of the benefits of feeding raw meats are opinion-based, as there have been no published, peer-reviewed reports on the benefits of feeding raw. The benefits of raw diets may include better taste, cleaner teeth, shiny coat and hair, improved behavior and energy, and the belief that dogs and cats are eating more naturally. While these are consumer and seller opinions, there are studies that do show that protein digestibility is improved in dogs and cats that consume raw meat-based diets. While historically dogs and cats are carnivores, they have evolved to omnivorous diets, which means they can metabolize nutrients and digest both plant and animal materials. There are some raw diets formulated to meet AAFCO's guidelines that are intended to be the sole nutritional source for pets, but many, such as homemade diets, do not have these qualifications. If you choose to feed a raw diet, it is important to look at the label. The Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have both written guidance for feeding these kinds of diets. The primary concern when feeding raw meat is health risks to pets, while other concerns include health risks to humans and nutritional imbalances in the diets not formulated to AAFCO's standards. Another concern in these diets is damaged teeth and gastrointestinal injury from bones. Salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes, which are two kinds of foodborne bacteria, have been found much more commonly in raw pet food than other kinds of pet food. Both pathogens can make your pet sick through consuming them, and you sick from cross contamination through shedding of your pet's hair and/or feces, handling, or malpractice, such as rinsing raw meat or not separating feeding equipment. Rinsing is not recommended because bacteria have the potential to splash and spread to other places. The FDA, CDC, and American Veterinary Medical Association all discourage feeding raw diets to your pet. However, the FDA and CDC do maintain guidelines if you choose to feed a raw diet. The CDC's guidelines include washing your hands and surfaces thoroughly after handling raw pet food, safe storage and handling, and safe play after your pet eats. Proper storage and handling involve freezing raw food until you're ready to feed your pet as well as keeping it away from other pet and human food. It's important to not thaw raw food on the countertop or in the sink, but to use a dedicated container specifically for that reason. To safely play with your pet after they eat, be sure to clean any parts of your body they lick to eliminate contact and potential transfer of bacteria. The FDA recommends cleaning to remove germs and disinfecting to kill germs on surfaces and objects. Many of the CDC's guidelines line up with the FDA's, such as proper storage and handling and avoiding letting your pet lick you, especially on your face. Registered raw meat-based diets that are covered by the FDA can be recalled if pathogens are found, but raw meals made at home are not regulated. The choice of what to feed a pet is up to the owner's discretion. Some points to consider when deciding what kind of diet is best for your pet include health, activity level of you and your pet, age, size, as well as taste and food allergies. The AVMA recommends education on commercial raw diets and consulting a veterinarian when creating a homemade raw diet for your pet to ensure nutritional balance and food safety. However you choose to feed your pet, understanding their needs and consulting your veterinarian is always important. -Emily Treon is serving a summer internship in the AG Inputs Division of the Georgia Department of Agriculture.
