GMP+ Feed Safety Standards

“License to operate in the International Feeds Sector.” FEED SAFETY CHALLENGE Feed Safety and Quality are key issues for all companies handling feedstuffs and can have serious consequences when control is lost. A systematic approach is imperative for reducing risk and improving quality. Companies seeking to internationalize their business in Europe must be certified to a standard recognized by the GMP+ International (former PDV) organization. The GMP+ certification is also recognized by other feed certification schemes. Knowledge of GMP+ is spreading and the certificate is requested at a continuously greater extent throughout the world. The GMP+ regulations are in a process of continuous development and improvement and changes are relevant to all organizations in the international supply chain. WHAT ARE GMP+ STANDARDS BASED ON? The GMP+ standards have been developed to harmonize requirements for feed in order to ensure quality and safety throughout the entire feed chain. It is based on widely recognized principles of quality assurance, Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP). Choosing which standard (B1, B2, etc.) and certification scope (production of feed materials, trade, etc.) depends on the organization’s role in the feed chain. GMP+ B1 is mandatory for the production of compound feed, but can also be used for the production of feed materials and transport. B2 can be used for the production of feed materials and feed additives, while B3 is intended for trade and transshipment. Each of these standards is intended for different means of feed transport (e.g. B4.1 is intended for truck transport). All steps in the supply chain are thus covered by the given requirements. Advantages of GMP+ certification Companies benefit from GMP+ certification, because it: is focused on quality management (ISO 9001) and risk management (HACCP); provides access to supporting information and services, such as risk assessments, fact sheets, storing and sharing your monitoring data, newsletters, Early Warning messages etc); Offers new sales opportunities and to a great degree, ensures the retention of current customers; Guarantees the continuity of business operations, because the corporate structure is set up more efficiently and the costs and financial risks are limited; Helps improve the company image and the reliability; Makes your company part of a globally operating feed safety system (the GMP+ certificate is accepted internationally by about 12000 companies in 66 countries); Is accepted by other (inter)national schemes; Can easily be combined with multiple certifications (feed safety and sustainability); Contributes to uniformity in the feed chain.

Organic Certification

Promoting organic production standards to meet consumer demand BUSINESS CHALLENGE Increased cases of unsafe food due to over use of chemical fertilizers and chemicals in food production system, has created an increasing worldwide demand for organic food. The challenge facing the organic agriculture industry is to produce foodstuffs and agricultural products using methods, which respect the environment and animal welfare. Globally, these demands are defined by regulations, particularly in those countries, which consume organic products. The principal standards are NPOP standard (India Organic- APEDA), EU Regulation 834/2007 and the US National Organic Program (NOP). To take into account the regulations in place, the certification scheme depends both on the country of production and the country of destination. This certification is aimed at producer organizations or members of food industries who want to commercialize organic products for a particular market. The organic certification considered as a guarantee of quality and safety by the consumers. What is Organic Certification? Organic certification is a nationally and internationally recognized set of standards aimed at proving that agricultural and food products have been produced without the use of synthetic chemical products, while using methods, which respect the environment and animal welfare. Organic requirements involve a set of production specifications for growing, storage, processing, packaging and shipping. All organic assessment and qualification references require control and certification by an accredited independent body. Organic Certification Requirements vary from country to country and generally involve a set of production standards for growing, storage, processing, packaging and shipping that include: avoidance of synthetic chemical inputs (e.g. fertilizer, pesticides, antibiotics, food additives), irradiation, and the use of sewage sludge; avoidance of genetically modified seed; use of farmland that has been free from prohibited chemical inputs for a number of years (often, three or more); for livestock, adhering to specific requirements for feed, housing, and breeding; keeping detailed written production and sales records (audit trail); maintaining strict physical separation of organic products from non-certified products; Undergoing periodic on-site inspections. Certified organic foods are not necessarily pesticide-free, certain pesticides are allowed. What are the key benefits? Demonstrate Organic Standards compliance of products to clients (retailers, traders, importers) Inspire consumer confidence Ensure greater access to existing and target markets Help protect the environment from harmful products and processes Preserve animal welfare WHY CHOOSE SCPL We are working with USOCA that is accredited for certification according to the NPOP, Swiss, European and NOP (USDA) organic production standard. With the NPOP, the client will also get certificate for Swiss and European Organic certification (EU Regulation No. 834/2007), which will make it recognized by all European Union member countries. In order to access the US market, you have to certify your products to the National Organic Program (NOP).
