Approved as a certification body for GMP+ Feed Safety Assurance (FSA) certification, FoodChain aims to enhance the safety of the animal feed supply chain with this global certification.
FoodChain ID, a trusted global partner for feed and food safety services, has announced its approval as a certification body for GMP+ Feed Safety Assurance (FSA) certification. FoodChain ID will conduct global, independent audits for GMP+ FSA across all species of animal agriculture. The new service adds to FoodChain ID’s commitment to comprehensive certification services that strengthen the safety of animal feed production and distribution, and the subsequent food supply chain, according to the company.
The GMP+ FSA standard is managed by GMP+ International and recognized worldwide for its rigorous feed safety requirements based on ISO 22000, HACCP and feed industry best practices. GMP+ FSA certification covers critical links in the feed supply chain, including feed production, distribution, transportation, storage and monitoring. The addition of GMP+ FSA certification complements FoodChain ID’s existing portfolio of feed certifications, such as FAMI-QS and FCA.
Chetan Parmar, Senior Vice President for Technical Services in Europe and Asia, FoodChain ID, explains: “At every stage of production – from the receipt of raw materials to the transport and delivery of the finished feed to the farmer – confidence in animal feed safety and integrity is critical. As a company with a proven track record in certifications for the food supply, FoodChain ID is pleased to bring GMP+ FSA certification to our clients.”
“Feed industry supply chain participants play a critical role in the safety of the global food supply chain by providing high-quality, nutritious feed to livestock. Since our acquisition of Promag, FoodChain ID has continued to expand our feed certification portfolio and our commitment to the global feed and farming community, which aligns with our mission of a safe and transparent food supply,” adds Conor Kearney, CEO of FoodChain ID.
