Safe Feed/Safe Food is a comprehensive industry program that helps members meet existing regulations and current, good manufacturing practices to maximize food and feed safety. - FCI (Facility Certification Institute)
Milk Products is certified by the Facility Certification Institute (FCI) that audits us to comply with FDA regulation Title 21, CFR 589.2000, Substances Prohibited in Ruminant Feed. This regulation is designed to prevent feeding ruminant proteins to ruminant animals (cattle, sheep, goats, llamas and alpacas, etc.). The feeding of ruminant proteins is believed to present a risk of infectivity for TSE (transmissible spongiform encephalopathy) diseases such as BSE (Mad Cow Disease) in cattle, or Scrapie in sheep. The certification is intended to enhance consumer confidence in the safety and wholesomeness of our food animal supply, which is the best in the world.
