  1. Better Training for Safer Food BTSF Composite Products Simon rowell MOVEMENT AND IMPORT CONTROLS OF FEED, FOOD AND ANIMALS Control checks at border inspection posts Session 7 – 8th to 11th April 2014

  2. Be Logical! • 1st: Is it a composite product? • Only then decide: • 2nd: Is it subject to vet checks? • Only then decide: • 3rd: What are the import conditions?

  3. Is it a composite product? Is it subject to veterinary checks? What are the import conditions?

  4. Definitions Composite product: A foodstuff intended for human consumption that contains both processed products of animal origin and products of plant origin and includes those where the processing of primary product is an integral part of the production of the final product Commission Decision 2007/275 article 2 • Food only • If any raw animal material is present it cannot be a composite product

  5. Processed product: Foodstuff resulting from the processing of unprocessed products. • These products may contain ingredients that are necessary for their manufacture or to give them specific characteristics. Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 Article 2 point (o) Definitions Processing: Any action that substantially alters the initial product, including heating, smoking, curing, maturing, drying or a combination of those processes. Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 Article 2 point (m) Specific definitions of meat products, dairy products, egg products, processed fishery products, etc. are in Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 Annex I point 7

  7. Composite product: “A foodstuff intended for human consumption that contains both processed products of animal origin and products of plant origin and includes those where the processing of primary product is an integral part of the production of the final product” Composite product. Raw honey has been added to mustard & soya bean oil and cooked Not a composite product. Raw honey has been mixed with nuts but the honey has not been processed

  8. Composite product: “A foodstuff intended for human consumption that contains both processed products of animal origin and products of plant origin and includes those where the processing of primary product is an integral part of the production of the final product” Composite products

  9. Composite product: “A foodstuff intended for human consumption that contains both processed products of animal origin and products of plant origin and includes those where the processing of primary product is an integral part of the production of the final product” Prawn spring roll. If prawns cooked – a composite product A prawns raw – a fishery product

  10. Composite product: “A foodstuff intended for human consumption that contains both processed products of animal origin and products of plant origin and includes those where the processing of primary product is an integral part of the production of the final product” Composite product

  11. Composite product: “A foodstuff intended for human consumption that contains both processed products of animal origin and products of plant origin and includes those where the processing of primary product is an integral part of the production of the final product” • Vegetable Oil, Water, Whole Egg, Lemon Juice , • Vinegar, Salt • Final product has been cooked Mayonnaise: If egg content cooked – a composite product If egg content raw - egg product

  12. Warning! • Processed animal products can contain some plant material without becoming composite products

  13. Commission Guidance Commission Guidance on Regulation (EC) No 853/2004: If the plant material is: necessary for the manufacture of the product(i.e. there for technical reasons), or is there to add special characteristics, it is still a processed animal product and not a composite product

  14. Processed fishery product. (Not a composite) Canned tuna in sunflower oil: Vegetable content essential for manufacture + adds special characteristics Ingredients: Skipjack Tuna (Katsuwonuspelamis), Sunflower Oil and Salt
