Our answers to your questions

Do I need to declare my animal feed products on Compl’Alim?

No, unlike food supplements for human consumption, there is no requirement to declare products to the competent authority under the regulation.

How does EFSA contribute to the safety assessment of feed additives?

EFSA’s Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP) provides independent scientific advice on the safety and efficacy of feed additives. The panel evaluates the potential risks to target species, users, consumers of products of animal origin, and the environment. Their assessments are essential for the authorization process of feed additives within the EU.

What is the role of the International Feed Industry Federation (IFIF) in promoting animal health through nutrition?

The International Feed Industry Federation (IFIF) focuses on nutritional innovation to promote animal health and welfare. Their work aims to demonstrate how animal nutrition contributes to animal health and welfare, including efforts to contain Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR). IFIF’s initiatives support the industry in adopting practices that enhance animal health through improved nutrition.

How do regulatory frameworks address the use of novel ingredients, such as insects, in animal feed?

The use of novel ingredients in animal feed, such as insects, is subject to specific regulatory frameworks to ensure safety and efficacy. In the European Union, the use of insects in feed was previously prohibited but has been revised to allow certain insect products in fish feed. Regulations require that these novel ingredients undergo safety assessments and meet specific standards before being approved for use in animal feed.
