No obligation — sign up as a company and we'll put you in touch with a specialist consultant.
Who is FAMI-QS for?
FAMI-QS (Feed Additives and Premixtures Quality System) is a safety and quality code specifically for the chain of additives and premixtures intended for animal feed, closely related to schemes such as GMP+. It is common among:
- Feed additive manufacturers (vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes…)
- Premixture manufacturers and mixers for animal feed
- Distributors and traders of additives and premixtures
- Companies that supply feed manufacturers certified to GMP+ or other schemes that require traceability down to the additive
- Companies that export additives or premixtures to markets where FAMI-QS is a common benchmark
How we help you get there
Our support covers the whole journey, from the first assessment to the day of the certification audit:
- 1
Initial assessment
We review your activity, your facilities and your current management system to establish your starting point towards FAMI-QS, whether you are a manufacturer, a mixer or a distributor.
- 2
Gap analysis
We compare your situation against the requirements of the FAMI-QS Code: raw-material control, traceability, cross-contamination prevention, process control and more.
- 3
Implementing the documented system
We help you build or adapt your safety management system: procedures, specifications, supplier control and the records the Code requires.
- 4
Team training
We train the staff involved so the system is applied day to day, with particular attention to the critical points of manufacturing additives and premixtures.
- 5
Audit preparation
We run a mock internal audit to spot weak points and close out nonconformities before the official audit.
- 6
Support during the audit
We support you on the day of the audit with the accredited certification body, and with handling nonconformities, through to award of the certificate.
Duvalis Consulting advises and prepares your company throughout the process. The final certificate is issued by an accredited, independent certification body, following its own audit. Duvalis Consulting is not a certification body and does not issue certificates.
Benefits of achieving certification
Access to demanding feed manufacturers
Many feed manufacturers certified to GMP+ or other schemes only buy additives and premixtures from FAMI-QS suppliers, to maintain their own traceability.
Recognition in the animal nutrition sector
FAMI-QS is a dedicated benchmark for the additives and premixtures chain, beyond generalist food safety schemes.
Lower risk of cross-contamination
A well-implemented FAMI-QS system strengthens control of critical processes such as cleaning between batches and dosing.
Complements GMP+ and other feed schemes
If you work with clients or suppliers certified to GMP+, FAMI-QS fits naturally into the same chain of trust.
