6th International Feed Regulators Meetings to be held in Africa

The IFRM provides an opportunity for regulators and feed industry professionals from across the globe to exchange their thoughts and discuss concrete ideas for providing safe and affordable feed and food around the world.

“IFIF is delighted to invite regulators from around the world to South Africa and the IFRM really has become a unique opportunity for industry and regulators to discuss key issues for the feed and food chain, such as the harmonization of global feed safety standards and opportunities for mutual recognition of approval processes” said Mario Sergio Cutait, IFIF Chairman. Mr. Cutait added “We are particularly excited that the IFRM will be held on the African Continent for the first time just ahead of the Global Feed and Food Congress, and we look forward to welcoming regulators from around the world to Sun City, South Africa.”

Other topics of discussion will include the ad hoc Intergovernmental Codex Task Force on Animal Feeding (TF AF), a discussion on technical barriers to international trade of feed, updates on the progress of redesigning the US and Canadian feed ingredient approval process, and the presentation of the IFIF ‘Comparison of Approval Process and Risk-Assessment procedure for Feed Ingredients’ project.
