Feed Safety Certification

FAMI-QS Feed Safety System Certification Consulting

Build compliant feed safety systems that ensure product integrity, strengthen supply chain control, and enable global market access.

Industry Challenge

Why Feed Safety Is a Critical Risk

Contaminated feed ingredients compromise the entire food chain — from animal health to human safety. Regulatory and market pressures demand structured feed safety systems.

Contamination Risks

Chemical, biological, and physical contaminants in feed ingredients threaten animal and human health.

Supply Chain Gaps

Fragmented supplier networks create blind spots in traceability and quality assurance.

Traceability Issues

Inability to trace feed ingredients from origin to end use increases liability and recall risk.

Audit Pressure

Growing regulatory and customer demands for certified feed safety management systems.

Supply Chain Visualization

Where Feed Safety Risks Exist

Feed safety is an end-to-end supply chain responsibility. Every stage — from raw material sourcing to final use — carries contamination risk that must be controlled.

Raw Material

Risk

Contaminated or adulterated incoming feed ingredients

Control

Supplier qualification & incoming testing

Processing

Risk

Cross-contamination during mixing or conversion

Control

Process controls & HACCP-based monitoring

Storage

Risk

Pest ingress, moisture damage, or chemical exposure

Control

Warehouse controls & environmental monitoring

Distribution

Risk

Contamination or degradation during transport

Control

Vehicle hygiene & chain-of-custody controls

End Use

Risk

Incorrect dosage or incompatible feed combinations

Control

Usage guidelines & customer specifications

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is FAMI-QS?
FAMI-QS (Feed Additives and PreMixtures Quality System) is an internationally recognized certification scheme for feed safety management. It ensures that feed additives, premixes, and feed ingredients are produced, handled, and stored safely.
Feed additive manufacturers, premix companies, feed ingredient producers, and traders involved in the global feed supply chain. It is particularly important for companies exporting to European markets.
ISO 22000 covers the broader food safety management system, while FAMI-QS is specifically designed for the feed industry — focusing on feed additives, premixes, and ingredients that form part of the food chain.
While not legally mandatory in all markets, FAMI-QS is increasingly required by major feed buyers, retailers, and regulatory bodies. It is considered a market access requirement for international feed trade.
Typical implementation takes 4–8 months depending on the organization’s current maturity, complexity of operations, and readiness of existing systems. SVC provides structured timelines to ensure efficient certification.
