Fertilisers and Feeding Stuffs

We check that the quality, composition, labelling, advertising and presentation of fertilisers and feeding stuffs comply with legal requirements, in particular the Agriculture Act.

 

Feed Hygiene

We enforce the Feed (Hygiene & Enforcement) (England) Regulations 2005. These apply to all businesses that make, use or market animal feeds including farms. Retailers that only sell pet food are not caught by this legislation. The aim of the legislation is to complete the farm to fork approach of food law so that the whole of the food chain is covered by hygiene legislation.

 

How does it affect me?
The new Feed Hygiene Regulations require registration with the local Authority of all feed businesses, except pet shops and for the feeding of animals kept for the sole consumption by the owner.

 

If you are already registered with other official schemes for example the Rural Payments Agency, CAP Reform or registered under Food Hygiene then you do not need to make a new registration under this legislation. Businesses that have previously been registered under the Feeding Stuffs (Establishments and Intermediaries) Regulations will have that registration continued. but you should notify the authority that you are still carrying out the same activities.
