SACRAMENTO, September 16, 2025 - CDFA's, Meat, Poultry and Egg Safety Branch (MPES) is announcing one vacancy on the Rendering Industry Advisory Board (RIAB). The RIAB makes recommendations to the Secretary on matters pertaining to:

All matters pertaining to Food and Agricultural Code (FAC) Division 9, Part 3, Chapter 5, including, but not limited to, the inspection and enforcement program, annual budget, necessary fees to provide adequate services, and regulations required to accomplish the purposes of the chapter.
Current vacancy:
Industry member - The Advisory Board will consider a variety of state-licensed rendering practitioners for this vacancy, including, but not limited to, the following: licensed renderers, dead haulers, and transporters of inedible kitchen grease.
This vacancy was created because a current member is leaving the Board. The membership term for this vacancy will be 36 months. Board members receive no compensation but are entitled to reimbursement for transportation to and from meetings and for per diem expenses for lodging, meals, and incidental expenses.
Animal rendering plays a critical role in California's agricultural circular economy. Rendering recently deceased animals and inedible kitchen grease serves the dual purpose of recycling valuable materials and sanitarily disposing of potentially harmful waste. This process transforms material that would otherwise fill landfills into useful products like animal feed, biofuels, and industrial lubricants.
Applicants interested should submit resumes by October 16, 2025, to:
Mrs. Penny Arana Meat, Poultry and Egg Safety Branch 1220 N Street Sacramento, California 95814 [email protected]
