Welcome to the Feed Safety Database (FSD). FSD is a database containing information that can be used when conducting company-specific HACCP analyses. The database has various sections, some of which have separate access settings. The following sections are available:
Risk assessments
This section contains risk assessments of feed material for farm animals. The risk assessments contain process diagrams of the (primary) production process, an inventory of possible hazards in feed material, an estimate and explanations of the hazards and control measures that may be taken in order to control these hazards.
Monitoring (DOS)
The analysis results of undesirable substances in various feed materials for the past few years have been included in the Undesirable Substances Database (DOS). You can use this data to assess the odds of a hazard. GMP+ participants who make data available from their company’s internal monitoring system are given access to this database after they have signed on. They may send in their own results but also consult the (anonymous) results of all other GMP+ participants. Should you not have access the DOS (yet), then send an E-mail to FSDDOS@gmpplus.org. Please mention your company name and your GMP+ number in this E-mail.
Fact sheets
The fact sheets show more background details regarding the hazards and the (explanation of the) severity of the risk to animals and humans. Fact sheets are available for the hazards (undesirable substances) that are included in the risk assessments of feed material. Additionally, fact sheets are available for a number of processing aids (categories).
Standards
In order to be able to determine if a feedmaterial is safe, standards have been issued for many hazards. These are available in Appendix BA1 of the GMP+ FSA scheme. This section listing standards also provides a download link for Appendix BA1.
The attached diagram reflects the link between the HACCP analysis and the various sections of the Feed Safety Database.
