2. Sampling requirements
In line with the GMP+ principles, it is the company's responsibility to determine to take
representative samples as part of the feed safety management system, including compliance
with relevant legislation.
The GMP+ certified company must establish sampling protocols. Samples must be
representative to the related batch.
Helpful tip:
If sampling is done in compliance with existing sampling standards, you can just refer to these standards.
Examples of such standards are: GAFTA 124 (for dry feed materials), FOSFA, NOFOTA, ISO5555 (for fats
and oils), ISO6497, ISO24333, Regulation (EU) 691/2013. Further, these standards contain information
that can be useful when establishing your own protocols.
a. dry products (harrow in bulk, bagged), wet products, liquid products (harrow in tanks,
cans), etc.;
b. testing on substances which are heterogeneously / homogeneously distributed over the
batch;
c. testing on microbiological parameters.
Helpful tip:
The word 'sealed' in this context does not mean that sealing must take place with a seal lead and seal
thread. The closure must be such that unauthorized and uncontrolled opening of the sample (for
example by someone who is not authorized to do so) becomes visible.
2.6. Storage
a. The sample must be stored in such a way that damage to and deterioration is avoided;
b. An appropriate period must be established to store retention samples. Where legislation
requires a specific storage period of the retention samples, this must be met.

That was a lot of information to digest and one might ask, what is the next step? Luckily we can offer support
for the GMP+ Community when doing this. We provide support by means of various tools and guidances but
as each company has a shared responsibility to feed safety, and therefor tailor-made solutions cannot be
offered. However, we do help by explaining requirements and provide background information about the
requirements.
We have developed various supporting materials for the GMP+ Community. These include various tools,
ranging from Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) lists to webinars and events.
