# §530.30. Extralabel drug use in nonfood animals.

- (a) Because extralabel use of animal and human drugs in nonfood-producing animals does not ordinarily pose a threat to the public health, extralabel use of animal and human drugs is permitted in nonfood-producing animal practice except when the public health is threatened. In addition, the provisions of [§ 530.20(a)(1)](/cfr/21/530.20.md?p=a-1) will apply to the use of an approved animal drug.
- (b) If FDA determines that an extralabel drug use in animals not intended for human consumption presents a risk to the public health, the agency may publish in the Federal Register a notice prohibiting such use following the procedures in [§ 530.25](/cfr/21/530.25.md). The prohibited extralabel drug use will be codified in [§ 530.41](/cfr/21/530.41.md).
