PRESS RELEASE
First GLOBALG.A.P Feed Certificate goes to Havsbrún Feed Mill
Cologne, 9.July 2010 -- Food Certification International certifies feed
producer Havsbrún in accordance with the new GLOBALG.A.P Standard for Compound Feed Manufacturers.
The launch of version 2.0 of its Compound Feed Manufacturing Standard is
part of GLOBALG.A.P´s range of standards complementary to the Integrated
Farm Assurance standard for livestock and aquaculture.
When it comes to the production of livestock
and aquaculture species for human
consumption, the production and sourcing of
compound feed play a crucial role for food safety.
Therefore, the compliance with the requirement in GLOBALG.A.P’s Integrated
Farm Assurance standards for livestock and aquaculture regarding quality
assurance for production, supply and purchase of compound feed is essential for the producers.
In 2009 the activities of the responsible technical managers and the sector
committees for agricultural livestock and aquaculture at GLOBALG.A.P
focused on the development of the new version of the compound feed manufacturing standard.
The experience and the commitment of specialists related to compound feed production helped to define the control points and the compliance criteria.
