An increasingly important item on AIC’s agenda is the sustainability of the entire food supply chain as it attracts greater attention from NGOs, retailers and governments, with deforestation in relation to soya being given particular focus.
This document is intended to outline the checks and controls in place to ensure grain and feedstuffs in the UK are safe and legal whether it arrives from an already assured supply chain or production or is from outside of an assured chain.

Action has been agreed between AIC, the Veterinary Medicines Directorate (VMD) and veterinary profession to ensure that the vet is in control of the diagnosis of any disease in the animals under his/her care and the subsequent medication required. Thus, medicated feed is never delivered until the vet has issued the MFSp to the feed supplier and copied the farmer.
Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) is a system that was devised to identify, evaluate and control hazards that are significant for food safety. The aim of this introduction is to help companies to understand and implement effective HACCP in the Agri Feed/ Food supply chain. Additional AIC Guidance documents will cover in more detail key aspects of the HACCP process.
