It depends. You can’t just disclaim:

“Want to buy pizza at my restaurant? (This restaurant not inspected by health department and pizza is not for human consumption)”

Because it’s obvious BS.

But you can say:

“This is dog food, not for human consumption.” On actual dog food.

Now I don’t know whether it’s BS in this instance or not but it would be very relevant to the situation.



Dog food is regulated by the FDA, 'not for human consumption' doesn't get you out of food safety requirements.


And typically dog food is rated for human consumption anyway, simply so that when a baby eats the dog food and coincidentally gets sick, the dog food manufacturer can avoid expensive legal battles.


Fair, I was thinking in the context of state/local regs…but you get my point.
