Any animal feed bearing or containing a veterinary feed directive drug shall be fed to animals only by or upon a lawful veterinary feed directive issued by a licensed veterinarian in the course of the veterinarian’s professional practice. When labeled, distributed, held, and used in accordance with this section, a veterinary feed directive drug and any animal feed bearing or containing a veterinary feed directive drug shall be exempt from [section 352(f) of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title21-section352/f&num=0&edition=prelim). (2) A veterinary feed directive is lawful if it— (A) contains such information as the Secretary may by general regulation or by order require; and (B) is in compliance with the conditions and indications for use of the drug set forth in the notice published pursuant to [section 360b(i) of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title21-section360b/i&num=0&edition=prelim), or the index listing pursuant to [section 360ccc–1(e) of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title21-section360ccc–1/e&num=0&edition=prelim). (3) (A) Any persons involved in the distribution or use of animal feed bearing or containing a veterinary feed directive drug and the licensed veterinarian issuing the veterinary feed directive shall maintain a copy of the veterinary feed directive applicable to each such feed, except in the case of a person distributing such feed to another person for further distribution.
