Annual Report 2009 documents. The electronic certification system TRACES can be of great help in this co-operation with the exporting countries in fighting this kind of fraud. The Commission provides access to TRACES to exporting countries and trains them as part of its “Better Training for Safer Food programme”. Feed The chart below shows that feed is getting more reported every year since 2004. This should not mean that problems with feed are on the rise. It is more likely that reporting procedures for feed have matured over the years. More EVOLUTION OF NOTIFICATIONS CONCERNING FEED 200 100 0 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 countries are reporting regularly on risks in relation to feed than before but when looking at individual countries, no clear trends can be observed. Spain and the United Kingdom have reported considerably more on feed than the years before. Most of the Spanish and British notifications were about rejections at the border. Spain reported Salmonella or Enterobacteriaceae, but also some notifications for unauthorised genetically modified maize MON88017 found in consignments of soybean feed material. This raised high concern in Europe because of the dependence of the animal production in the EU on imports of soybean. There was great fear that rising feed prices would seriously impact the meat production cost. After a favourable opinion by EFSA, the authorisation procedure of this GM maize was accelerated and negative consequences for the animal production in the EU were avoided. The United Kingdom reported 13 border rejections of groundnuts for bird feed, mostly from Brazil and from India. In the category “feed additives” there were again some notifications reporting unacceptable levels of heavy metals arsenic, lead and cadmium and two notifications for presence of dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs in bentonite clay and in sulphur. The sulphur that was produced in Poland turned out not to have been sold for feed purpose. 42
The Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF) RASFF FEED NOTIFICATIONS IN 2009: PRODUCTS AND HAZARDS pet food feed premixtures feed materials feed additives compound feeds animal by-products PET FOOD mycotoxins microbiological contamination labelling industrial contaminants heavy metals GMO foreign bodies FEED MATERIALS other mycotoxins microbiological contamination industrial contaminants heavy metals GMO foreign bodies In relation to animal by-products, there were four notifications by Denmark on porcine and bovine cartilages for technical use that were improperly labelled. They were rejected at the border. For pet food, most notifications concerned Salmonella and Enterobacteriaceae. Notifications about industrial contaminants concerned findings of melamine. In feed materials, most notifications reported contamination with Salmonella. The GMO notifications concerned GM linseed and traces of GM maize in soybean. 43
