Introduction 1.1. General The GMP+ Feed Certification scheme was initiated and developed in 1992 by the Dutch feed industry in response to various more or less serious incidents involving contamination in feed materials. Although it started as a national scheme, it has developed to become an international scheme that is managed by GMP+ International in collaboration with various international stakeholders. Even though the GMP+ Feed Certification scheme originated from a feed safety perspective, in 2013 the first feed responsibility standard has been published. For this purpose, two modules are created: GMP+ Feed Safety Assurance (focussed on feed safety) and GMP+ Feed Responsibility Assurance (focussed on responsible feed). GMP+ Feed Safety Assurance is a complete module with standards for the assurance of feed safety in all the links of the feed chain. Demonstrable assurance of feed safety is a 'license to sell’ in many countries and markets and participation in the GMP+ FSA module can facilitate this excellently. Based on needs in practice, multiple components have been integrated into the GMP+ FSA standards, such as requirements for a feed safety management system, for application of HACCP principles, to traceability, monitoring, prerequisites programmes, chain approach and the Early Warning System. With the development of the GMP+ Feed Responsibility Assurance module, GMP+ International is responding to requests from GMP+ participants. The animal feed sector is confronted with requests to operate more responsible. This includes, for example, the sourcing of soy and fishmeal which are produced and traded with respect for humans, animals and the environment. In order to demonstrate responsible production and trade, a company can get certified for the GMP+ Feed Responsibility Assurance. GMP+ International facilitates via independent certification the demands from the market. Together with the GMP+ partners, GMP+ International transparently lays down clear requirements in the Feed Certification scheme. Certification bodies are able to carry out GMP+ certification independently. GMP+ International supports the GMP+ participants with useful and practical information by way of a number of guidance documents, databases, newsletters, Q&A lists and seminars. 1.2. Structure of the GMP+ Feed Certification scheme The documents within the GMP+ Feed Certification scheme are subdivided into a number of series. The next page shows a schematic representation of the content of the GMP+ Feed Certification scheme: Version EN: 1 April 2019 (corr.15/07/2019) 4/30 Specific requirements for by-products from the Oil & Fat Industry - BA 7 GMP+ Feed Certification scheme A – documents General requirements for participation in the GMP+ FC scheme B – documents Normative documents, appendices and country notes Feed Safety Assurance Feed Responsibility Assurance C – documents Certification requirements of the GMP+ FC scheme D – documents Guidelines to help companies with the implementation of the GMP+ requirements All these documents are available via the website of GMP+ International (www.gmpplus.org).

Version EN: 1 April 2019 (corr.15/07/2019) 5/30 Specific requirements for by-products from the Oil & Fat Industry - BA 7 2. General Requirements 2.1. Introduction By-products from the oils and fats industry are often used in all kind of feed. As part of the harmonisation of key elements in their standards, GMP+ International, OVOCOM, AIC and QS have decided to define together a minimum set of safety control measures and conditions, to be applied by a company who produces or trades one of the above mentioned by-products. The purpose is – beside creating a level playing field - to increase feed safety when using the by- products coming from the oils and fats industry ( a.o. by-products coming from milling / crushing and refinery). This should contribute to more confidence in the products and ensure even more that only safe products are supplied in the feed chain. 2.2. Basic principle Basic principle is that these by-products need to come out of a closed (‘assured’) chain. In the framework of GMP+ feed safety assurance and GMP+ certification, this means: For the GMP+ certified producer: A producer of by-products from the oil and fat industry needs to assure the feed safety in compliance with the relevant GMP+ standardsa, and be certified as such. As additional part of this certification, this GMP+-certified producer should specifically demonstrate there is compliance with the relevant additional requirements, which are laid down in chapter 3 of this appendix. Specific sourcing requirements have been laid down for a soap stock splitter. For the GMP+ certified trader: A trader/importer of these by-products must - within the framework of his GMP+ certificationb - purchase from the above mentioned certified producers (or equivalent). This trader must also, demonstrate compliance with the relevant additional requirements, which are laid down in chapter 3 of this appendix. Note: - The specified requirements focus mainly on sourcing, producing, labelling and monitoring, and are – as stated above - applicable for both producers and traders of the specified by-products. For a compound feed company The producer of compound feed which is to be delivered to a farmer does not need to apply this appendix. For fat blender relevant parts of this appendix applies. Think of labelling and transfer of information. a The best is to apply the GMP+ B2-standard b The best is to apply the GMP+ B3-standard.

Definitions Term Explanation AIC Agricultural Industries Confederation EFISC European Feed and Food Ingredient Safety Certification First generation GMQ oil E.g. rapeseed oil, sunflower oil, soya oil, palm oil. This term refers to GMQ oils and fats used as raw materials for soap stock splitting. These soap stocks origin from refineries that have used GMQ oil for refining.
