The European Union (EU) has partially lifted the ban on using processed animal proteins in feed according to the Directive (EU) 2021/1372.
As of 6 September, 2021, existing limitations are alleviated under certain conditions:
Adapting this legislation has certain consequences for the IDTF. The ICRT is preparing the changes and striving to carry these out as soon as possible. In anticipation of these changes, the companies are allowed to transport animal proteins in accordance with the Directive (EU) no. 2021/1372 or in accordance with their national legislation when this is stricter than the EU legislation.
The following sentence is added to the disclaimer to emphasize that the cleaning regime in the IDTF concerns a minimum cleaning regime. Sometimes, a stricter cleaning regime may be applicable.
“However, when required by legislation or where significant health, safety or environmental hazards exists, a stricter cleaning regime may be applicable.”
