Feed labelling and marking requirements

Kurz gefasst

Feed labelling rules govern what must appear on packaging and accompanying documents — product identity, composition, additives, batch, producer and storage instructions — and requirements differ by destination market.

Kernpunkte

  • Labelling requirements are destination-specific, not origin-specific.
  • Batch identification on the label supports traceability and recall.
  • Re-labelling at destination is expensive and sometimes not permitted.

Typical mandatory content

Feed designation, name and address of the responsible operator, batch or lot reference, net quantity, list of feed materials or additives as applicable, moisture or analytical declarations where required, storage and use instructions and shelf-life indication.

Getting it right before production

Confirm the destination's requirements and language rules before the supplier prints packaging. Label defects discovered at the border stop the consignment, and correction is a physical operation as well as a documentary one.

Zu prüfen

  • Label content and language checked against destination requirements
  • Batch reference present and matching the documentation
  • Label proof approved in writing before production

Zu steuernde Risiken

  • Consignment detained for label non-compliance
  • Language requirements not met for the destination market
  • Batch reference absent, breaking traceability at the package level

Häufige Fehler

  • Approving packaging without checking destination rules
  • Assuming one label satisfies several export markets
  • Omitting the batch reference from the printed label

Häufige Fragen

Can labels be applied at destination?

Sometimes, under customs or operator control, but it adds cost and handling and is not permitted in every market. Getting it right at origin is preferable.

Who is responsible for label compliance?

The operator placing the feed on the market in the destination country, which is normally the importer, regardless of who printed the label.
