Changing the EWS emergency number – please update your documentation

Please note that the emergency number for the Early Warning System (EWS) has changed. The Early Warning System (EWS) plays a critical role in ensuring rapid response and communication for the entire feed chain whenever unsafe feed is detected.

We have changed the emergency number with immediate effect.

The new emergency number is: +31 (0)6 10 20 86 95.

We request that all companies implement this changed number in their internal and external documentation as soon as possible, such as:

  • Emergency procedures and procedural instructions
  • Manuals and process descriptions
  • Contact lists and relevant digital platforms

EWS report - yes or no?

In order to determine whether or not a given situation requires an EWS report, we recommend always using the EWS decision tree.
