Safety Controls FeedAssure™ is a HACCP program of system controls that are designed to prevent potential sources of contamination in feed products. FeedAssure™ provides manufacturers with the tools to produce safe feed through formal safety controls focused on: Prevention Safety controls built into the manufacturing process help to prevent safety problems. Safety controls help to reduce the risk of making a mistake that could impact the safety of the product. Customers are often surprised to learn about the rigourous controls that FeedAssure™ companies must have in place to handle veterinary medications and other feed inputs. Identification and Correction When mistakes are made, there are systems of double checks that allow for timely identification and correction of the problem, and efficient identification of process changes required to prevent the problem from occurring again. Trace-back With detailed record-keeping and pre-determined action plans for dealing with problems, FeedAssure™ provides increased traceability of incoming ingredients through the production process, into the finished product. If a problem is found in feed after it leaves the facility, there is a clear system in place to allow accurate tracing of the product. With FeedAssure™, trace-back is efficient, effective, accurate and timely. | ||
