The EFISC scheme, based on the European Guide for safe feed materials endorsed by the European Commision and EU Member States, provides us with a harmonised, high quality standard for feed safety across the EU in an open, transparant and non- discriminatory matter  Jan- Robert Swagers, Sales and Marketing Manager Grain and Oilseed Supply Chain Europe said  Our customers can trust the product since the audit is performed in a uniform way across the EU by accredited certification bodies and qualified auditors . The European Feed Ingredients Safety Code promotes good practices in the industrial manufacturing of safe feed materials. The code was developed as a result of the shared commitment between the starch industry (AAF) and the oilseed crushing, oil refining and protein meal industry (FEDIOL) within the framework of the European Feed Ingredients Platform (EFIP), which provides a harmonised, voluntary feed safety assurance scheme for the feed materials industry in the EU. The code is open to other feed material producing sectors to join. The aim of the code is to provide safe feed for animals and consequently, to consumers further up the food chain by making the best use of the industry s experience and expertise. To achieve this goal, the Code provides guidance for companies on how to establish their own feed safety management system in accordance with the relevant EU legislation. The code includes requirements for management systems, prerequisite programmes, risk control (hazard analysis critical control points), withdrawal and traceability.
