Regulation （EC） No 767/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council
of 13 July 2009
on the placing on the market and use of feed, amending European Parliament and Council Regulation （EC） No 1831/2003 and repealing Council Directive 79/373/EEC, Commission Directive 80/511/EEC, Council Directives 82/471/EEC, 83/228/EEC, 93/74/EEC, 93/113/EC and 96/25/EC and Commission Decision 2004/217/EC
（Text with EEA relevance）
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 37 and 152（4）（b） thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee [1],
Having consulted the Committee of the Regions,
Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty [2],
Whereas:
（1） The pursuit of a high level of protection of human and animal health is one of the fundamental objectives of food law, as laid down in Regulation （EC） No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 January 2002 laying down the general principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority and laying down procedures in matters of food safety [3]. That Regulation also established the farm-to-fork approach designating feed as a sensitive stage at the beginning of the food chain. To ensure a high level of protection of public health is one of the fundamental objectives of this Regulation.
（2） The production of feed is an important end for European agricultural products, given that most of the materials used for the production of feed are agricultural products listed in Annex I to the Treaty. Furthermore, feed is of crucial significance for the 5 million livestock farmers in the Community because it represents the greatest expense.
（3） Feed may take the form of feed materials, compound feed, feed additives, premixtures or medicated feedingstuffs. The rules for the marketing of feed additives are set out in Regulation （EC） No 1831/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition [4] and for medicated feedingstuffs in Council Directive 90/167/EEC of 26 March 1990 laying down the conditions governing the preparation, placing on the market and use of medicated feedingstuffs in the Community [5].
（4） The existing legislation on the circulation and use of feed materials and compound feed, which includes pet food, namely Council Directive 79/373/EEC of 2 April 1979 on the circulation of compound feedingstuffs [6], Council Directive 93/74/EEC of 13 September 1993 on feedingstuffs intended for particular nutritional purposes [7] （dietetic feed）， Council Directive 96/25/EC of 29 April 1996 on the circulation and use of feed materials [8] and Council Directive 82/471/EEC of 30 June 1982 concerning certain products used in animal nutrition [9] （bio-proteins）， needs to be updated and replaced by a single regulation. In the interests of clarity, Council Directive 83/228/EEC of 18 April 1983 on the fixing of guidelines for the assessment of certain products used in animal nutrition [10] and Commission Directive 80/511/EEC of 2 May 1980 authorising, in certain cases, the marketing of compound feedingstuffs in unsealed packages or containers [11] should be repealed.
（5） As a consequence of the repeal of Directive 79/373/EEC by this Regulation, Council Directive 93/113/EC of 14 December 1993 concerning the use and marketing of enzymes, micro-organisms and their preparations in animal nutrition [12] should also be repealed. Also, in view of the repeal of Directive 79/373/EEC, and given that this Regulation includes rules concerning the labelling of feed containing additives, Article 16 of Council Directive 70/524/EEC of 23 November 1970 concerning additives in feedingstuffs [13], which remained in force after the repeal of Directive 70/524/EEC by Regulation （EC） No 1831/2003, should be repealed.
（6） Unlike food, as defined in Regulation （EC） No 178/2002, the definition of feed does not include water. Furthermore, given that water is not marketed for animal nutrition purposes, this Regulation should not include conditions for water used in animal nutrition. It should, however, apply to feed administered in water. The use of water by feed businesses is covered by Regulation （EC） No 183/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 January 2005 laying down requirements for feed hygiene [14], which stipulates that clean water should be used whenever necessary in order to prevent contamination that could prove hazardous and that water used in feed manufacture should be of suitable quality.
（7） Given the risk of contamination of the feed and food chain, it is appropriate that this Regulation apply to feed for both food and non-food producing animals, including wild animals.
（8） The responsibilities of the feed business operators laid down in Regulation （EC） No 178/2002 and Regulation （EC） No 183/2005 should apply, mutatis mutandis, in respect of feed for non-food producing animals.
（9） In order to enforce compliance with this Regulation, Member States should carry out official controls in accordance with Regulation （EC） No 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on official controls performed to ensure the verification of compliance with feed and food law, animal health and animal welfare rules [15]. Those controls should include not only the mandatory but also the voluntary labelling particulars. In order to allow control of the compositional data, acceptable tolerances for the labelled values should be determined.
（10） To manage feed safety risks, the list of materials whose placing on the market for animal nutrition purposes is prohibited, as currently provided for in Commission Decision 2004/217/EC [16], together with a list of materials whose placing on the market for animal nutrition purposes is restricted, should be included in an Annex to this Regulation. The existence of such an Annex should not, however, be interpreted to mean that all products not listed can, as such, be considered safe.
（11） The distinction between feed materials, feed additives, and other products such as veterinary drugs has implications for the conditions for the placing of such products on the market. Feed materials are primarily used to meet animals’ needs, for example for energy, nutrients, minerals or dietary fibres. They are usually not chemically well-defined except for basic nutritional constituents. Effects which can be justified by scientific assessment and which are exclusive to feed additives or veterinary drugs should be excluded from the objective uses of feed materials. It is, therefore, appropriate to draw up non-binding guidelines for distinguishing between these kinds of products. In duly justified cases, the Commission should be empowered to clarify whether a product constitutes feed for the purposes of this Regulation.
（12） The definition of complementary feedingstuffs in Directive 79/373/EEC gave rise to application problems in various Member States. It is appropriate to clarify the distinction between complementary feedingstuffs and premixtures for the purposes of applying Regulation （EC） No 183/2005.
（13） In order to allow a uniform application of the legislation, feed materials and complementary feed should not contain additives above a certain level. However, highly concentrated feed, such as licking buckets containing minerals, may be used for direct feeding if the composition meets the particular nutritional purpose in respect of the relevant intended use. Conditions governing the use of such feed should appear on the labelling in order to ensure that the rules regarding the content of feed additives in the daily ration are complied with.
（14） Directive 82/471/EEC aims to improve the supply of feed used as direct and indirect protein sources in the Community. That Directive requires a pre-market authorisation procedure for all possible bio-proteins. However, only very few new authorisations have been granted to date and the shortage of protein-rich feed is still evident. Thus, the general pre-market authorisation requirement has proved to be prohibitive, and safety risks could be tackled instead by means of prohibiting risky products based on market surveillance. In cases where the outcome of the risk assessment of a bio-protein is negative, its circulation or use should be prohibited. Hence, the special requirement of a general pre-market authorisation procedure for bio-proteins should be abolished, with the consequence that the safety system for such products be the same as for all other feed materials. The existing restrictions or prohibition of certain bio-proteins should not be affected.
（15） The provisions of Directive 93/74/EEC implemented by Commission Directive 2008/38/EC of 5 March 2008 establishing a list of intended uses of animal feedingstuffs for particular nutritional purposes [17] have proved to be working well. The list of intended uses thus established should, therefore, be maintained and provision should be made in this Regulation for its updating. In particular, the European Food Safety Authority should be consulted on the efficacy and the safety of such feed when, on the basis of available scientific and technological information, there are reasons to believe that the use of the feed in question may not meet the particular intended nutritional purpose or may have adverse effects on animal health, human health, the environment or animal welfare.
（16） Scientific substantiation should be the main factor to be taken into account for the purpose of making claims in respect of feed, and feed business operators making such claims should be able to substantiate them. A claim may be scientifically substantiated by taking into account the totality of the available scientific data, and by weighing the evidence.
（17） Labelling serves enforcement, traceability and control purposes. In addition, labelling should provide the necessary information to purchasers to enable them to make the optimal choice for their needs, and it should be consistent, coherent, transparent and understandable. As purchasers, in particular livestock farmers, make their choices not only at the point of sale where they can inspect the packaging of the feed, the requirements concerning information provided on the labelling must apply, not only to the labels which appear on the products, but also to other kinds of communication between the vendor and the purchaser. Furthermore, those principles should apply also to the presentation and the advertising of feed.
（18） Mandatory and voluntary information is provided on labelling. The mandatory information should combine general labelling requirements and specific requirements for feed materials or compound feed respectively, and additional requirements in the case of dietetic feed, contaminated material and pet food.
（19） The present situation with respect to chemical impurities resulting from the manufacturing process of feed materials and from processing aids is not satisfactory. In order to ensure a high level of feed safety, and thus a high level of protection of public health, and in order to improve transparency, provisions should be adopted laying down acceptable levels of such chemical impurities in accordance with good practice as referred to in Regulation （EC） No 183/2005.
（20） The principle that only certain feed additives have to be labelled once they are used in feed materials and compound feed is working well. However, the categorisation resulting from Regulation （EC） No 1831/2003 needs to be updated and modernised, due also to the fact that pet owners, in particular, might be confused by some additive labelling.
（21） As a consequence of the bovine spongiform encephalopathy （BSE） and the dioxin crises, the obligation to indicate the percentage by weight of all feed materials incorporated in compound feed was introduced in 2002 by Directive 2002/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 January 2002 amending Council Directive 79/373/EEC on the circulation of compound feedingstuffs [18], at the initiative of the European Parliament. Furthermore, the level of food and feed safety has been significantly improved as a result of Regulation （EC） No 178/2002 and Regulation （EC） No 183/2005 and their implementing measures, in particular as a result of the focus put on the responsibility placed on feed and food business operators, the improved traceability system, the introduction of the hazard analysis and critical control points （HACCP） principle in feed businesses and the creation of guides to good hygiene practice in feed businesses. In light of these positive achievements, mirrored in the notifications to the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed （RASFF）， the obligation to indicate the percentage by weight of all feed materials incorporated in compound feed on the labelling is no longer necessary for the purpose of ensuring a high level of feed safety and thus a high level of protection of public health. The exact percentages may, however, be provided on a voluntary basis for the purpose of providing adequate information to purchasers. Furthermore, given that the competent authorities have access to information on the exact percentages by weight of all feed materials incorporated in compound feed, they should be able, on the ground of any urgency relating to human or animal health or to the environment, and in accordance with Directive 2004/48/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the enforcement of intellectual property rights [19], to provide further information to purchasers.
（22） To ensure proper information for, and to avoid misleading, the purchaser, the exact percentage by weight should, however, be required in those cases where the feed material in question is emphasised on the labelling of a compound feed.
（23） The indication of the feed materials incorporated in compound feed in descending order of weight already provides important information on compositional data. In certain areas where the producer is not obliged to label particulars, the purchaser should be able to request additional information. In such cases, a margin of +/– 15 % of the declared value should be maintained.
（24） The intellectual property rights of producers should be protected. For the enforcement of such intellectual property rights, Directive 2004/48/EC should apply. It should also be acknowledged that the quantitative composition of compound feed, unlike the names of feed materials contained therein, can, under certain conditions, be considered confidential information to be protected.
（25） Directive 2002/32/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 May 2002 on undesirable substances in animal feed [20] does not apply to the labelling of feed with excessive levels of undesirable substances. Provisions should therefore be laid down in order to ensure adequate labelling and proper implementation of the dilution ban provided for in Article 5 of that Directive, until such contaminated materials have been detoxified by a detoxification establishment, approved in accordance with Article 10（2） or （3） of Regulation （EC） No 183/2005, or until they have been cleaned.
（26） Derogations from the general labelling requirements should be provided for in so far as the application of such requirements is not necessary to protect human or animal health or consumer interests and would unduly burden the producer or the feed business operators responsible for the labelling. On the basis of experience, such derogations should be provided for, in particular with respect to feed delivered by one farmer to another for use on his farm, for small quantities, for compound feed not containing more than three feed materials and for mixes of whole plant grains, seeds and fruits.
（27） As a general rule, compound feed should be marketed in sealed containers, but appropriate derogations should be provided for in so far as the application of that requirement is not necessary to protect human or animal health or consumer interests and would represent an excessive burden for the feed business operators.
（28） Part B of the Annex to Directive 96/25/EC and columns 2 to 4 of the Annex to Directive 82/471/EEC contain lists of designations, descriptions and labelling provisions for certain feed materials. Those lists facilitate the exchange of information on the product properties between the producer and the purchaser. The experience of encouraging stakeholders to set voluntary standards by means of Community guidelines in the field of feed hygiene has been positive throughout. A more extensive listing could be achieved more flexibly, and could be better adapted to the information needs of the user, if undertaken by the stakeholders rather than by the legislator. The stakeholders can decide on the efforts they expend depending on the value of a list of feed materials. It is desirable, therefore, to establish a non-exhaustive Catalogue of feed materials to be used by feed business operators on a voluntary basis, except as regards use of the name of the feed material.
（29） The current lists of feed materials contained in Part B of the Annex to Directive 96/25/EC and columns 2 to 4 of the Annex to Directive 82/471/EEC should constitute the initial version of the Community Catalogue of feed materials. This initial version should subsequently be supplemented at the initiative of the stakeholders in accordance with their interests, including by the addition of emerging feed materials.
（30） In the interests of transparency, it is appropriate that the representatives of the stakeholders are notified of a feed material which is not listed in the catalogue as soon as such feed material is placed on the market for the first time.
（31） Modern labelling facilitates a competitive market environment in which dynamic, efficient, innovative operators can make full use of labelling to sell their products. Having regard to both the business-to-business relationship in the marketing of livestock feed and the relationship between the producer and the purchaser of pet food, Codes of good labelling for these two areas could be a useful means of achieving the objectives of modern labelling. The Codes should lay down provisions that would enable the purchaser to make informed choices. They should also give the person responsible for the labelling important guidance on different elements of the labelling. They may assist in the interpretation of the framework for voluntary labelling or the presentation of mandatory labelling. The Codes should be used on a voluntary basis, except in cases where use of the Codes is indicated on the labelling.
（32） Involvement of all parties concerned is the crucial element for ensuring the quality and appropriateness of the Catalogue and the Codes for good labelling. In order to strengthen the rights of users to proper information, their interests must be taken into consideration. This can be ensured by approval by the Commission of the Catalogue and the Codes, provided that the content thereof is practicable and that they are suitable for meeting the objectives of this Regulation.
（33） The Member States should lay down penalties for infringement of the provisions of this Regulation and should take all measures necessary to ensure that they are implemented. Such penalties should be effective, proportionate and dissuasive.
（34） A transitional period is necessary, in particular in respect of feed which fulfils a particular nutritional purpose and in respect of the acceptable level of chemical impurities resulting from the manufacturing process and from processing aids. The marketing of existing stock should also be permitted until it is exhausted. Furthermore, it may be appropriate to specify conditions under which feed may be labelled in accordance with this Regulation prior to the date of its application.
（35） Since the objective of this Regulation, namely harmonisation of the conditions for the placing on the market and the use of feed, in order to ensure a high level of feed safety and thus a high level of protection of public health as well as to provide adequate information for users and consumers and to strengthen the effective functioning of the internal market, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States and can therefore be better achieved at Community level, the Community may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve that objective.
（36） The measures necessary for the implementation of this Regulation should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission [21].
（37） In particular, the Commission should be empowered to amend the list of materials restricted or prohibited for use as feed, to authorise feed intended for particular nutritional purposes, to establish a list of labelling categories of feed materials for non-food producing animals except fur animals, to adopt amendments to the Catalogue setting the maximum content of chemical impurities or levels of botanical purity or the levels of moisture content or particulars replacing the compulsory declaration, to adapt the Annexes in light of scientific and technological developments and to adopt transitional measures. Since those measures are of general scope and are designed to amend non-essential elements of this Regulation, inter alia, by supplementing it with new non-essential elements, they must be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny provided for in Article 5a of Decision 1999/468/EC.
（38） On grounds of efficiency, the normal time limits for the regulatory procedure with scrutiny should be curtailed for the adoption of updates to the list of intended uses. When, on imperative grounds of urgency, the normal time limits for the regulatory procedure with scrutiny cannot be complied with, the Commission should be able to apply the urgency procedure provided for in Article 5a（6） of Decision 1999/468/EC for the adoption of amendments to the list of materials whose placing on the market or use for animal nutritional purposes is restricted or prohibited.
（39） Article 16 of Regulation （EC） No 1831/2003 lays down provisions for the labelling and packaging of feed additives and premixtures. Implementation of the rules concerning premixtures has, in particular, caused practical problems for the industry and the competent authorities. In order to allow for a more consistent labelling of premixtures, that Article should be amended,
HAVE ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Those measures, designed to amend non-essential elements of this Regulation, by supplementing it, shall be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny referred to in Article 28（4）。
On imperative grounds of urgency, the Commission may have recourse to the urgency procedure referred to in Article 28（5） with a view to adopting those measures.
CHAPTER 3
PLACING ON THE MARKET OF SPECIFIC TYPES OF FEED
Article 7
Characteristics of types of feed
1. In accordance with the regulatory procedure referred to in Article 28（3）， the Commission may adopt guidelines clarifying the distinction between feed materials, feed additives and other products such as veterinary drugs.
2. The Commission may, where necessary, adopt measures in order to clarify whether a certain product constitutes feed for the purposes of this Regulation.
Those measures, designed to amend non-essential elements of this Regulation, by supplementing it, shall be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny referred to in Article 28（4）。
Article 8
Content of feed additives
1. Without prejudice to the conditions of use provided for in the relevant legal act authorising the respective feed additive, feed materials and complementary feed shall not contain levels of feed additives that are higher than 100 times the relevant fixed maximum content in complete feed or five times in case of coccidiostats and histomonostats.
2. The level of 100 times the relevant fixed maximum content in complete feed referred to in paragraph 1 may only be exceeded if the composition of the products concerned fulfils the particular nutritional purpose in respect of the relevant intended use under Article 10 of this Regulation. The conditions of use for such feed shall be further specified in the list of intended uses. Establishments under the control of a producer of such feed who uses feed additives referred to in Chapter 2 of Annex IV to Regulation （EC） No 183/2005 must be approved in accordance with point 1（b） of Article 10 of that Regulation.
Article 9
Marketing of feed intended for particular nutritional purposes
Feed intended for particular nutritional purposes may only be marketed as such if its intended use is included in the list of intended uses established in accordance with Article 10 and if it meets the essential nutritional characteristics for the respective particular nutritional purpose set forth in that list.
Article 10
List of intended uses of feed intended for particular nutritional purposes
1. The Commission may update the list of intended uses set out in Directive 2008/38/EC by adding an intended use, withdrawing an intended use or by adding, removing or changing the conditions associated with a particular intended use.
2. The procedure for updating the list of intended uses may be started by the submission to the Commission of an application by a natural or legal person established in the Community or by a Member State. A valid application shall include a dossier demonstrating that the specific composition of the feed fulfils the particular intended nutritional purpose and that it has no adverse effects on animal health, human health, the environment or animal welfare.
3. The Commission shall make the application, including the dossier, available to the Member States without delay.

LABELLING, PRESENTATION AND PACKAGING
Article 11
Principles for labelling and presentation
1. The labelling and the presentation of feed shall not mislead the user, in particular:
（a） as to the intended use or characteristics of the feed, in particular, the nature, method of manufacture or production, properties, composition, quantity, durability, species or categories of animals for which it is intended;
（b） by attributing to the feed effects or characteristics that it does not possess or by suggesting that it possesses special characteristics when in fact all similar feeds possess such characteristics; or
（c） as to the compliance of the labelling with the Community Catalogue and the Community Codes referred to in Articles 24 and 25.
2. Feed materials or compound feed marketed in bulk or in unsealed packages or containers in accordance with Article 23（2） shall be accompanied by a document containing all mandatory labelling particulars required under this Regulation.
3. Where feed is offered for sale by means of distance communication as defined in Article 2 of Directive 97/7/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 May 1997 on the protection of consumers in respect of distance contracts [27] the mandatory labelling particulars required by this Regulation, except for the particulars provided for in Articles 15（b）， （d）， （e）， and 16（2）（c） or 17（1）（d）， shall appear on the material supporting the distance selling or they shall be provided through other appropriate means prior to the conclusion of a distance contract. The particulars referred to in Articles 15（b）， （d）， （e）， and 16（2）（c） or 17（1）（d） shall be provided at the latest at the time of delivery of the feed.
4. Labelling provisions additional to those set forth in this Chapter are laid down in Annex II.
5. Permitted tolerances for discrepancies between the labelled compositional values of a feed material or compound feed and the values analysed in official controls in compliance with Regulation （EC） No 882/2004 are listed in Annex IV to this Regulation.
Article 12
Responsibility
1. The person responsible for the labelling shall ensure the presence and substantive accuracy of the labelling particulars.
2. The person responsible for the labelling shall be the feed business operator who first places feed on the market or, where applicable, the feed business operator under whose name or business name the feed is marketed.
3. To the extent that their activities affect labelling within the business under their control, feed business operators shall ensure that the information provided through whatever medium satisfies the requirements of this Regulation.
4. Feed business operators responsible for retail or distribution activities which do not affect labelling shall act with due care to help ensure compliance with the labelling requirements, in particular by refraining from supplying feed which they know or should have presumed, on the basis of the information in their possession and as professionals, does not comply with those requirements.
5. Within the businesses under their control feed business operators shall ensure that mandatory labelling particulars are transmitted throughout the food chain in order to allow the information to be provided to the final feed user in accordance with this Regulation.
Article 13
Claims
1. The labelling and the presentation of feed materials and compound feed may draw particular attention to the presence or the absence of a substance in the feed, to a specific nutritional characteristic or process or to a specific function related to any of these, provided that the following conditions are met:
（a） the claim is objective, verifiable by the competent authorities and understandable by the user of the feed; and
（b） the person responsible for the labelling provides, at the request of the competent authority, scientific substantiation of the claim, either by reference to publicly available scientific evidence or through documented company research. The scientific substantiation shall be available at the time the feed is placed on the market. Purchasers shall have the right to bring to the attention of the competent authority their doubts in respect of the truthfulness of the claim. Where the conclusion is reached that the claim is not sufficiently substantiated, the labelling in respect of such claim shall be considered misleading for the purposes of Article 11. Where the competent authority has doubts regarding the scientific substantiation of the claim concerned, it may submit the issue to the Commission. The Commission may adopt a decision, where appropriate after obtaining an opinion from the Authority, in accordance with the advisory procedure laid down in Article 28（2）。
2. Without prejudice to paragraph 1, claims concerning optimisation of the nutrition and support or protection of the physiological conditions are permitted, unless they contain a claim of the type referred to in paragraph 3（a）。
3. The labelling or the presentation of feed materials and compound feed shall not claim that:
（a） it will prevent, treat or cure a disease, except for coccidiostats and histomonostats as authorised under Regulation （EC） No 1831/2003; this point shall not, however, apply to claims concerning nutritional imbalances provided that there is no pathological symptom associated therewith;
（b） it has a particular nutritional purpose, as provided for in the list of intended uses as referred to in Article 9, unless it satisfies the requirements laid down therein.
