Safe Animal Feed Education Program offers guidance on minimizing feed manufacturing carryover

The California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) Safe Animal Feed Education (SAFE) Program announces the release of 2023 SAFE Feed Manufacturing Carryover Guidance. This document is intended to be an educational tool for industry and covers flushing procedures, sequencing procedures and flush verification.

Good Manufacturing Practices require feed manufacturers to address carryover, i.e., when feed from one batch is inadvertently carried over to the next, so that each unique formulation adheres to safety and quality standards. Good practices include sequencing and cleanout of manufacturing lines before and after batches.
