Product overview / performance
GMP+ Feed Responsibility Assurance As of December 2020, 757 companies in 14 countries were GMP+ Feed Responsibility Assurance (FRA) certified. This is an increase of 137 over 2019. Certified companies were located in not only in Europe but also the first GMP+ FRA certified company has been noted in the United States. New certified companies from countries which haven’t seen GMP+ FRA certifications before include Hungary, Switzerland and Ukraine. For GMP+ FRA, most of the attention in 2020 went to the #ProjectGMP+2020 project. Just like GMP+ FSA, the GMP+ FRA module received a thorough revision which makes it better to read and easier to apply. We also worked on a draft for a new ‘Feed of European origin’ standard. This standard is aimed to produce feed from ingredients of European origin. This follows the objectives of Europe to minimize dependency on other countries for its food supply, but also because of the more sustainable image of sourcing locally. Planned publication date is Q4, 2021. Due of the #ProjectGMP+2020 project, no substantive changes were made to the GMP+ FRA module. However, the GMO Controlled standard did receive an update. It now aligns with the updated VLOG requirements (published in March 2020).
