The NO SHT Act would amend federal food safety law to prohibit animal feed manufacturers from intentionally adding excrement to feed products sold across state lines. The bill targets the practice of deliberately incorporating fecal matter into livestock and poultry feed, making such products illegal under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. The legislation clarifies that using manure as crop fertilizer would not violate the ban, distinguishing between legitimate agricultural practices and the prohibited direct addition to animal feed. The bill was introduced in June 2024 and referred to the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry. No specific funding amounts or implementation timelines are outlined in the legislation.
