FAMI-QS

 The aim of this European Code of Practice is to ensure safety of feed additives and premixtures by:

• minimizing the risk of adulterated feed additives and premixtures entering the feed/food chain;
• enabling an operator to implement the objectives of the feed hygiene Regulation (Regulation (EC)No 183/2005); and
• Providing measures to ensure that other applicable regulatory feed safety requirements are met. Feed is considered unsafe for its intended use if it is likely to pose a risk to (has adverse effect on) human or
• Animal health, or if the food derived from food producing animals fed the feed is unsafe for human consumption.

This Code shall apply to feed additives and premixture operators at all stages of feed production from the first placing on the market of feed additives and premixtures based on current EU legislation.  Therefore it also applies to the placing on the market of feed additives and premixtures after import from third countries.

Compliance with FAMI‐QS does not exonerate the operator from meeting the statutory or regulatory requirements in each country in which the operator is active.

Why is certification good for my business?

Demonstrable and transparent quality assurance constitutes a licence to produce. Certification shows your commitment to a set of globally recognised principles, opening the global market:

• Food safety has a high priority
• The animal feed industry, including ingredient suppliers, is part of the food chain and is responsible for the safety of its products
• HACCP is a proactive approach which links the feed chain to the food chain
• Quality control of raw materials is a mutual concern for suppliers and the animal feed industry
• The trade and industry are assuming their responsibility for product safety

By achieving the GMP certification, your company can demonstrably guarantee that animal feeds and animal feed ingredients meet the legal rules and the requirements which have been agreed with the parties in the chain.

The GMP certification enables your organisation to:

• Communicate confidence to the customers, demonstrating that the feed or feed ingredients are produced by means of safe processes
• Prove that all reasonable precautions have been taken
• Allow the customers to demand certification and assessment of suppliers, if they operate in a country with a strong feed safety legislative framework
• Reduce the number of audits carried out by the customers and, consequently, save costs and management time
• Reduce product waste and product recall
• Improve relations with the food safety authorities
• Improve efficiency

Certification to the GMP standards provide an effective means for communicating with stakeholders and other interested parties. It is an important element in demonstrating feed safety commitment under corporate governance, corporate responsibility, and financial reporting requirements.
