Active co-ordination and promotion of a uniform and standardized application of basic principles for the assurance of feed safety in the whole feed chain worldwide, in order to contribute to the production of safe food.

Year of Establishment 1992

* GMP+ Feed Safety Assurance is a complete module for the assurance of feed safety in all the links of the feed chain. Multiple components have been integrated into the GMP+ FSA module, such as requirements for the quality management system (ISO 9001), HACCP, product standards, traceability, monitoring, prerequisites programmes, chain approach and the Early Warning System.

* The basic principle of GMP+ FSA is that the feed chain is part of the whole animal products production column. As a chain focused scheme, the GMP+ FSA includes standards with norms and requirements for various feed products (such as compound feeds, feed materials, premixes and feed additives) and their production. There are also standards with norms for the various stages in the feed chain ranging from production, treatment and processing, trade, transport by road, rail, inland waterway and by sea vessels through to storage & transhipment. Further, the chain principle is reflected in the purchase requirements that are laid down in the scheme. A company may only buy his feed ingredients and services from a supplier who complies with GMP+ requirements, and is certified as such.

*In 2011 the first Country Notes were published, one for China and two for The Netherlands, to cope with specific national market demands and situations.

* With the development of the GMP+ Feed Responsibility Assurance module, GMP+ International is responding to requests by GMP+ participants. GMP+ International worked together with RTRS on the standard GMP+ B101 Production and trade of responsible soy. The scope of this document focuses on the organisations that process soy beans (such as soy crushers) and traders. The growers of soy must be certified according to the RTRS Standard for Responsible Soy Production.
