Based on a desk study, carried out by the members of Technical Committee Feed Support Products (TCFSP), 34 assessed (14 new, 20 updated) feed materials and their production processes are included in the Product list. The inclusion of feed materials in the Product list (via the approval of its risk assessment) is a requirement of the GMP+ FC scheme. Only feed materials which are shown on the Product list can be used by GMP+ certified companies. By allowing only the use of approved feed materials, we ensure feed safety throughout the chain.
You’ll find an overview of the (new) approved feed materials and their processes here.
If your feed material is not included in the Product list or your process deviates from what is described in the risk assessment, please submit a risk assessment application. Information about the procedure is available on our website. In this way we work on feed safety together.
Did you know that…
- ...the numbers of European Catalogue of feed materials and the numbers of Feed Material Register are also available in the Product list? This information is provided as a service on request of the GMP+ Community. For reasons of harmonisation, where possible we use the same product names and definitions in the Product list as in the EU Catalogue of Feed Materials. The numbers can be found under “synonyms”.
- ....there is extra information available in previous newsletters Update risk assessments in FSP and Improved Feed Support Products.
- ...we have developed short video's about Risk Assessments, the GMP+ Monitoring database and how to submit an EWS notification.
- ....there is a free e-learning about Feed Support Products: How can you benefit from Feed Support Products? Go to the GMP+ Academy and follow the e-learning.
Please note: All the changes in the Product List have a direct effect on the GMP+ Monitoring database:
- Addition of new feed materials: if new feed materials are included in the Product list, these new feed materials will automatically be included in the GMP+ Monitoring database. GMP+ participants can add (and consult) analysis results for these new feed materials.
- Modification of feed material names: if the name of a feed material changes in the Product list (in all or one of the 3 published languages), it will also change in the GMP+ Monitoring database.
- Deletion of feed materials: if a feed material is deleted (removed) from the Product list, the addition of new analysis results for this feed material in GMP+ Monitoring database is no longer possible. However, the historical information on previous analysis results will remain available for consultation.
