NEWS 12 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE April 2021 InnovaFeed achieves Naturland Certification W hile European Organic Farming is current- ly struggling to meet consumers demand with up to 33% of organic products sold in France that are imported (source: Agence Bio), Innova- Feed’s Naturland certification demonstrates the po- tential of insects to accelerate the growth of organic farming, adding new performant and sustainable ingredients for organic farming. A premiere that lays the foundations for the insect-based ingredi- ents’ specifications. “We believe the insect industry has an important role to play in supporting the growth of the EU or- ganic agriculture and farming, in particular with re- gards to improving animal nutrition and reinforcing organic aquaculture, two of the key areas outlined in the “Action Plan for the Development of the Or- ganic Sector” released by the European Commission . To realize the potential of the insect industry for organic farming, the EU needs to define clear and adapted organic standards for insects.” declares Clé- ment Ray, InnovaFeed’s cofounder. “With such Eu- ropean standards and up to 500kT of insect protein expected to be produced by 2030, this is an addi- tional 5MT of organic fish, poultry or swine that could be produced in Europe.” InnovaFeed has achieved Naturland Certification, paving the way for insect ingredients to accelerate the growth of organic farming in Europe. M ycoFoss™, a new my- cotoxin analyser devel- oped by FOSS, represents a real breakthrough in the critical job of testing for harmful mycotox- ins. MycoFoss™ is the world’s first ever fully-automated solution for rapid tests performed at grain re- ception, feed mills or flour mills. Mycotoxin contamination in grain, feed or flour has always been a risk to food safety and an- imal production since the dawn of agriculture. Managing the risk is only becoming more important as extreme weather-events and humid conditions under harvest, transport and storage allow my- cotoxins to thrive. The revolutionary MycoFoss™ is operated at the push of a but- ton. Users simply place a ground sample in the instrument and select the appropriate test on a touch screen display. Results for key mycotoxin risks including DON, FUM, AFLA, ZEN, OTA and T-2 are delivered within eight minutes. A multi- plex option allows up to six my- cotoxins to be tested in one go. This is a facility that can become increasingly relevant as industry regulations and guidelines en- compass ever more mycotoxins. A new mycotoxin analyser for feed safety from FOSS FOSS announced the MycoFoss™, a new mycotoxin analyser for the presence of mycotoxins in grain and corn. The analyser is the world’s first ever fully- automated solution for rapid tests performed at feed mills.
