What is the impact of the new version of the Feed Label on enterprises?

There have been some changes in the requirements for the documents prepared by foreign enterprises in the old and new regulations, and the most significant change is the labeling part. There were no requirements for "raw material composition" and "claim" in the old regulations, but the new law requires that the composition of raw materials be arranged in descending order, and if there are claims for cost, function and characteristics, relevant supporting materials are required. The "Pet Food Labeling Regulations" in the new regulations have very detailed provisions on the labeling of pet food.

The label should indicate: product name, raw material composition, guaranteed value of product composition analysis, net content, storage conditions, instructions for use, precautions, production date, shelf life, name and address of the manufacturer, license certificate number and product standard.

According to analysis, the implementation of the new version of the "Feed Label" mainly has the following impacts:

1) Added the definition of terms such as feed, feed raw materials, feed additives, etc., and the requirement that the product name should adopt a generic name; tag"It is not allowed to label the content that has the effect of preventing or ** animal diseases"provisions.

2) Feed additives, trace element premixed feed and vitamin premixed feed should be marked with the recommended dosage, precautions and special labeling regulations for animal-derived feed, commissioned processing products, genetically modified products, etc.

3) The feed product composition analysis guarantee value items are divided into:"Feed and feed ingredient products"with"Feed additive products"Two parts.

4) It is stipulated that the production date indicated on the Chinese label of imported products shall be consistent with the production date indicated on the origin label.

Import and export feed enterprises:

Non-compliant labels can increase business operating costs.

The revision involves the vast majority of imported feed products, including fish feed, fishmeal, pet food, meat and bone meal, soybean meal, cotton meal and feed additives, etc., if the imported feed product label does not meet the requirements of the national standard, according to the relevant regulations, the goods must be transferred to the place designated by the inspection and quarantine agency, and the label that meets the specifications shall be applied. As a result, the release cycle of goods may be extended and the operating costs of enterprises may be increased. Therefore, import and export private enterprises must carefully study the provisions of the new "feed label", make full use of the transition period, start early, plan early, and do a good job in the replacement of the old and new labels of feed products.

The "Feed Labeling" standard is a national mandatory standard, and the standard number is.

gb16048- 1999

The specific provisions are:1

Feed labels for premixed feed, concentrated feed, and concentrate supplements (including imported products) should also give corresponding supporting recommended formulas and other precautions. 3.

The feed label of animal-derived feed (including imported products) should also indicate the name of the animal source and the number of the safety and health certificate (imported products are not applicable).

Label "This product must not be fed to ruminants" (but milk and dairy products do not need to be labeled). 5.

Compound feed, concentrated feed, concentrate supplement and single feed other than animal-derived feed should also be marked with the examination certificate number. 6.

It is important to note that feed labels only apply to commercial feeds. Self-prepared feed can be unaffixed or attached with a feed label. Now bulk feed is gradually becoming popular, and bulk feed can also be attached to a truckload with a label.

Feed labeling standard is a national mandatory standard, all commercial feed must have a feed label, no label of feed products is not in line with the national requirements of the product, quality is not guaranteed, users do not buy. Feed label is the feed manufacturer's guarantee and commitment to the quality and safety of its products, as well as the technical guidance for the correct use of feed products. At the same time, the feed label is also a written evidence of whether the product quality and safety meet the requirements of national regulations.

Its behavior violates Article 21 of the Regulations on the Administration of Feed and Feed Additives, which states that "the packaging of feed and feed additives shall be labeled." The label shall indicate in Chinese or applicable symbols the product name, raw material composition, guaranteed value of product composition analysis, net weight weight source or net content, storage conditions, instructions for use, precautions, production date, shelf life, name and address of the manufacturer, license certificate number and product quality standards. If the drug feed additives are added, the words "drug feed additives" should also be marked, and the generic name, content and withdrawal period should be indicated.

Feed of animal origin other than milk and dairy products shall also be marked with the words 'This product shall not be fed to ruminants'. provisions. According to Article 46, Paragraph 1, Item 3 of the Regulations on the Administration of Feed and Feed Additives:
