Competences
Feed
We advise and represent companies in the feed industry. We have comprehensive regulatory know-how on questions of composition, labelling and advertising of products for pets or livestock. The central regulation for feed is Reg. (EC) No 767/2009 containing provisions on the placing on the market, use of feed and labelling requirements. Following on from the general definition of feed as it is stated in the General Food Law Reg. (EC) No 178/2002, feed can be divided into further subcategories listed therein, for example into „feed materials“, „compound feed“ or „premixtures“. If the purpose is to meet the specific nutritional needs of animals, a „feed intended for particular nutritional purposes“ may be marketed if its intended use is listed in Reg. (EC) No 767/2009 and the essential nutritional characteristics for the respective particular nutritional purpose are met.
Alongside with Reg. (EC) No 767/2009, there are other important rules that we are familiar with, like Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition or Regulation (EU) 2019/4 on the manufacture, placing on the market and use of medicated feed which only came into force in January 2022.
Feed safety assessment and crisis management are another focus of ours. The safety requirements for feed are also contained in Reg. (EC) No 767/2009. Thereafter, for example, feed may only be placed on the market if, in addition to the criterion of safety, it does not have a direct adverse effect on the environment or animal welfare. Moreover, we represent our clients in approval procedures and against authorities.
