Animal feed businesses must make sure they:
- prevent the contamination or spoilage of feed
- clean equipment used for mixing, storing or transporting feed
- maintain records of feed or former food products used or sold
- make sure staff have the right training
You will need to specify, using the correct codes, which activity relates to your business. Read Annex A of the Feed Hygiene Regulation to find the codes for regulated activities.
