The Feed Additive and pre-mixes Code of Practice, FAMI-QS, is a code that fully integrates ISO 9001 standards, GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) and HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) requirements.

The certifiable system provides a single reference for ensuring the quality and safety of feed additives on the US market to the great benefit of feed manufacturers and their customers. Chr. Hansen is the first company to obtain the FAMI-QS certificate for the EU markets.

As a result of its recent audit, BVQI (www.bvqi.com) has certified that Chr. Hansen has implemented and maintains a quality management system in compliance with the FAMI-QS Code of Practice for feed additive and premixture operators for its probiotic feed additive BioPlus® 2B and silage inoculants. The certification falls into the following categories and functional groups - technological additives (silage additives) and zootechnical additives (microorganisms).
