More often that not the reason it would not be FDA approved is because the company had no interest in doing a clinical trial to determine the meat withdraw time, or how long any of the chemical derivatives would persist in the meat. The cost of this kind of research is very high.
In vet medicine, just about every medication or treatment that is approved for use in food animals has a meat or milk withdraw time, where the animal can not be harvested until that period has passed.
Just like I said in a previous post it all comes down to money. Of course if the product is primarily used in the pet trade there isn't a good reason to even bother spending the money.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
