The Aim of Feed Assurance

• Effective Feed Assurance is proactive
• Seeking out hazards
• Removing or controlling risks before they become
  scares
• Demonstrating due diligence of the Feed
  Industry
• Providing commercial protection

3
What Is Our Goal?

• Safe Feed
• Safe for humans consuming livestock products,
  e.g. meat, milk, eggs, fish
• Safe for animals
• Required under Regulation (EC) No 178/2002
  Laying down the General Principles and
  Requirements of Food Law
• Economically logical for best performance

4
Feed Ingredients

• A component part or constituent of any
  combination or mixture making up a feed, whether
  or not it has a nutritional value in the animals
  diet, including feed additives. Ingredients are
  of plant, animal or aquatic origin, or other
  organic or inorganic substances.
• (Codex Good Animal Feeding)

6
The Diversity of Feed Ingredients

• Animal, e.g. fish meal, meat bone meal, fats
  oils
• Plant, e.g. Soya, wheat, maize (corn), fats
  oils
• Mineral, e.g. limestone (Calcium carbonate), salt
• Primary Products, e.g. cereals/grains
• Processed Products, e.g. soybean meal, dried
  forage
• By-Products, e.g. maize (corn) gluten, sugar beet
  pulp
• Surplus/Returned Food Products, e.g. biscuits,
  sweets (candy), breakfast cereals, etc
• Additives, e.g. flavours, enzymes, flow agents,
  pellet binders, vitamins, trace elements

7
The Feed Ingredient Supply Chain

• From raw material selection and supplier
  approval
• through storage, transportation and handling of
  raw materials
• through processing, manufacture, mixing
• through storage, transportation and handling of
  feed ingredients
• to point where control transfers to the receiver
  (compound feed mill or farm)

8
International Feed Safety Alliance(IFSA)

• International Feed Ingredients Standard
• (IFIS)

The Initial IFSA Structure
11
International Feed Ingredient Standard (IFIS)

• Brings together the existing requirements of
• Belgian GMP
• British FEMAS
• Dutch GMP
• German QS
• Generic in style can be applied to all
  processors of feed ingredients in all countries
  of the World
• Complies with EU Regulations and Codex
  Alimentarius Code of Good Animal Feeding

12
IFIS

• Five sections
• 1. Introduction
• 2. Quality Management System
• 3. Resources and Good Hygienic Practices
• 4. Transport
• 5. Product Safety Management

13
IFIS Section 1.Introduction

• Aims and scope of IFSA
• Legal compliance
• How IFIS works
• Certification process (accredited ISO Guide 65
  Product Certification)
• Definitions

14
IFIS Section 2.Quality Management System

• Management responsibilities
• Quality system
• Documentation records
• The ISO 9000 Section

15
IFIS Section 3.Resources Good Hygiene

• Personnel
• Production/processing facilities
• Storage
• Critical equipment
• Pest control, cleaning, contaminants
• The Good Manufacturing Practice Section

16
IFIS Section 4.Transport

• Owned contracted transport
• Road, rail and water
• Carriage, loading discharge
• Previous 3 loads
• Cleaning
• Contamination is the main issue

17
IFIS Section 5.Product Safety Management

• HACCP (CODEX Principles)
• Raw material sourcing supplier assessment
• Feed ingredient specifications sales contracts
• Packaging
• Information provided with delivery

18
IFIS Section 5.Product Safety Management

• Inspection, sampling and testing
• Traceability
• Control of non-conforming products
• Complaints recall
• Internal auditing
• Seeking effective systems

19
IFIS Sector Notes

• Necessary because IFIS is generic
• Assist application of IFIS to specific supply
  sectors
• Highlight identified issues associated with
  specific supply sectors
• Cross-reference to clauses of IFIS
• Developed in partnership with sectors concerned,
  wherever possible

20
Certification Controls

• The most critical factor!
• Certification Bodies must be accredited to ISO
  Guide 65 (EN45011) for IFIS
• Assessors must meet qualification criteria,
  including written examinations
• Detailed Rules of Certification published by IFSA
• Audit Checklists prescribed by IFSA

21
Informing Buyers

• Assurance only works if buyers support it
• British, Dutch, German and Belgian Feed
  Industries now accept only assured ingredients
• FEMAS, Dutch GMP, Belgian GMP QS already
  certify hundreds of suppliers in many countries
• Certified suppliers listed on The Web
• IFIS certified suppliers and ingredients will be
  shown on IFSA website

22
The InternationalFeed Safety Alliance

• IFIS
• Built on a decade of practical experience to
  achieve a single international standard for
  assuring the safety of feed ingredients
• FEMAS, Dutch GMP, Belgian GMP QS certified
  feed ingredient businesses will begin conversion
  to IFIS in 2006
• New participants are welcome!
