Many pet owners choose to buy pet food online. Because a lot of pet food displayed in e-commerce not only looks beautiful in packaging, but some brands are also printed with foreign words, which makes people feel "very high-end", but in fact there is a hidden mystery: there are hidden dangers in the pet food sold by e-commerce. There are many fake and shoddy products.

Although the United States is an important producer of pet food in the world, its import volume in the Chinese market It has never been big. Many products on sale are imported through gray channels and then sold through website platforms or stores. Currently, there are only 15 U.S. pet feed factories registered with the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of China, and even fewer of them have the "Import Feed Registration Certificate" from the Ministry of Agriculture. Therefore, formal imports have been restricted, and the demand for products is large, thus giving birth to Many gray industries.

In order to rectify this chaotic problem of online pet food shopping, the government in 2018 strengthened cross-border e-commerce companies to strengthen the management of animal-derived pet food produced in the United States. Among them, those who have not obtained "imported feed registration" All products with "certificate" will be removed from the shelves and sales will be stopped. At the same time, relevant pet feed management regulations were also introduced.

The obvious benefit of the new "measures" introduced by the government is that it requires obtaining an import registration certificate The categories of imported pet food have increased. In addition, the "Measures" also set out strict and detailed requirements for Chinese labels used on pet food, which must indicate the applicable growth stage. For producers and operators, the "Measures" also strengthen supervision and management as well as the penalty system. The "Measures" also propose that third-party platform providers for online pet feed product transactions should conduct real-name registration of pet feed operators and ensure that the pet feed products sold on the platform meet the requirements of this "Measures".
