Approval 853/2005
Approval 1774/2002?
Food
Question Can a milk-PROCESSING (food)
establishment also be approved as an ABP
establishment?
21
Answer
SANCO/10098/2006

• If an establishment processes milk to food grade
  standards, and already fulfill the processing
  standards of chapter V of Annex VII, it can be
  approved accordingly without the need for a
  separate ABP approval number.
• If however, an establishment processes both food
  grade milk and ingredients unfit for human
  consumption, separate approval as well as
  separation of processing lines is required

EFSA opinions

• 29th March 2006 The animal health risks of
  feeding animals with ready-to-use dairy products
  without further treatment the provisional
  measures of EC 79/2005 dont prevent the risk
  from transmission of disease to farmed animals
  through the feeding.
• 15-16 March 2006 The public health risks of
  feeding farmed animals with ready-to-use dairy
  products without treatment

40
Difficulties to implement the regulation

• Traceability
• Several approvals on the same establishment
  (food, feed, 1774)
• Imported products risk of transmissible
  diseases
