GMO-controlled VLOG and GMP+ MI 5.4 for Purchasers and Quality Assurance Officers
The demand for GMO-controlled products is increasing steadily in the retail sector. As a result, livestock farmers are increasingly demanding guarantees from their feed suppliers regarding the absence of GMOs. The German Association of Foodstuffs without Genetic Engineering (VLOG) has developed a standard for the food and feed industry. GMP+ International has chosen to cooperate with VLOG to meet the demand for GMO-controlled products.
To achieve this, GMP+ International has developed the ‘GMP+ MI5.4 GMO controlled’ standard. This course will discuss the implications for feed companies that (want to) apply the VLOG or GMP+ MI5.4 standard.
