EU Association of Specialty Feed Ingredients and their Mixtures

FEFANA is the united voice of the specialty feed ingredients business in Europe. Our membership comprises manufacturers and traders of feed additives, functional feed ingredients, premixes and other mixtures of specialty ingredients that enter the food chain via feed.

Authorisation consortia

The consortia for (re-)authorisation of feed additives – as per article 10(2) of regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 – is a success story, in which FEFANA has facilitated the uniting of resources within our industry.

Through an efficient cooperation system, manufacturers and importers of feed additives were offered the opportunity to participate in FEFANA Consortia and jointly-prepare applications for re-authorisation of additives of their interest.

FEFANA has decided to develop its Code in order to achieve a common approach amongst Feed Business Operators (FBOs), which can also be recognized by the authorities, to foster transparency, fair competition and predictability.
