GMP+ International is preparing scheme changes after legal relaxation of the ban on meat-and-bone meal

Monday, September 6, 2021

The European Union (EU) has eased up on 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:

  • processed animal proteins obtained from pigs and insects may be added to poultry feed
  • processed animal proteins obtained from poultry and insects may be added to pig feed
  • gelatin and collagen obtained from ruminants may be added to feed for non-ruminants.

Adapting this legislation has certain consequences for the GMP+ Feed Certification scheme. We are preparing the following scheme changes in cooperation with representatives of the GMP+ Community. This will be discussed during our upcoming meetings of the subcommittees and the IEC (International Expert Committee). These meetings are scheduled for September and October 2021.

We are striving to carry out the scheme changes as per 1 January, 2022. In anticipation of these changes, GMP+ certified companies are allowed to use animal proteins in feed in accordance with the Directive (EU) no. 2021/1372.
