FeedAssure®

After more than a year auditing to FeedAssure® v.4 2022, we’ve heard from you that there is room for improvement in the audit process. To enable us to optimize this process, please take a few minutes to complete a short survey and share your thoughts.

One of the goals of the updated FeedAssure® program is to increase awareness about the program among current and prospective customers. This year, ANAC has been engaging with national and provincial producer groups to highlight the benefits of purchasing feed from FeedAssure® certified facilities.

New this year, ANAC is providing certified FeedAssure® facilities the option for on-site FeedAssure® training in either English or French.

Don’t miss your chance to sign up for the fall courses – once a course is full, registration will close and a waitlist will be created.

Crisis management was a new addition to the FeedAssure® v.4 2022 program. Crisis management was included in the program to proactively address emergencies that impact a facility’s ability to manufacture or deliver a safe final product.

After a year of auditing to FeedAssure® v.4, ANAC reviewed the audit reports and identified the most common non-conformances to determine where further guidance might be needed.

In the FeedAssure® v.4 2022 program, there is a new requirement that includes procedures to approve contracted service providers.  Since service providers often have access to a facility’s production area, it is important to ensure that additional hazards are not introduced that could impact feed safety.

Gain the expertise to conduct your own internal audit in the popular FeedAssure® Internal Auditing course. This intermediate-level course is tailored to meet the needs of FeedAssure® certified facility employees and prepares participants to conduct their own internal audit.

ANAC is committed to upholding FeedAssure® as the highest feed safety standard in Canada. As part of our efforts to achieve this objective, ANAC takes an active role in auditor training to continuously improve audit consistency and quality. 

If you disagree with third-party audit finding, you can challenge the finding by contacting the ANAC office. Note that facilities must return the completed External Audit Complaint Form and supporting documentation within 14 days of the audit.
