What is the difference between GMP+ and FSSC 22000 for feed?
GMP+ is a feed-specific safety assurance scheme widely required by European feed buyers and is GFSI-recognised for feed safety. FSSC 22000 also offers a feed safety scope built on ISO 22000. Many feed exporters pursue GMP+ specifically because it is the standard most commonly mandated by European feed importers and compound feed manufacturers.
