Commercial Feed License Application
The Missouri Commercial Feed Law requires that all companies have a Missouri Commercial Feed License who are manufacturing, distributing, or whose name appears on the labeling as guarantor, or any person acting as an independent consultant of a commercial feed or commercial feed ingredient – this includes pet food (dog and cat – including treats) as well as specialty pet (cage and tank). This license application fee is $35 and must be renewed annually. License renewals for the next year will either be mailed or emailed to you. You will need a license before selling in Missouri, even if you are exclusively selling online.

Product Listing of Pet Foods and Specialty Pet Foods
Pet food (cat and dog), sold exclusively in 10 pound packages or less, and specialty pet food (cage and tank), sold exclusively in one pound packages or less, must be registered annually on a product listing form. Product registrations are effective from January 1 to December 31 of each year. Renewals will be mailed for updates and completion near the end of each calendar year. Product registrations/renewals have an accompanying fee of $90/product, in lieu of the inspection fee associated with the tonnage report. In cases where a pet food product is sold in both sizes (larger and smaller than 10 pounds), and specialty pet food sold in both sizes (larger and smaller than one pound), the product is only required to be reported on the quarterly tonnage report. The inspection fee ($0.14/ton) is the only fee that applies. Please send in new/revised product labels with Product Listing Forms.

There is a reduced product registration fee of $25/product for companies whose total gross annual sales do not exceed $5,000. Additional information will be required in order to receive the reduced fee. If you believe this applies to your company, contact our office staff for further assistance.
