FEDIAF Guide to Good Practice for the Manufacture of Safe Pet Food

FEDIAF, the European Pet Food Industry Federation, and its members have always been extremely aware of and demanding about their responsibility to make sure that the Pet Food Industry offers only safe and sound prepared pet food.

Already in 2001, FEDIAF adopted an internal set of standards which companies adhere to in order to prevent, rather than react to, potential difficulties in the production process and to meet their commitment to nutrition, safety and quality.

FEDIAF welcomes the opportunity given to Industry in Regulation (EC) N° 183/2005 laying down requirements for Feed Hygiene to prepare sectorial voluntary guides to good practice. These undergo an EU assessment as to their practicability for the sector concerned and as to their observance of hygiene principles in legislation, Codex Alimentarius and HACCP.  Their titles and references will be published in the Official Journal of the EU.

For other language versions please contact FEDIAF, the English version being the official reference.

FEDIAF also adopted a training package on the Guide explaining the scope and subject, including practical HACCP examples in pet food production. This training package is used by national pet food associations at presentations to their member and non-member companies, authorities and third parties.
