The Stock Feed Manufacturers Council of Australia (SFMCA) operates FeedSafe® as the Quality Assurance Accreditation Program for the Australian stock feed industry.

FeedSafe® requires feed manufacturers to meet minimum standards in relation to:

• Premises and mill buildings
• Personnel training and qualifications
• Plant and equipment
• Raw material sourcing and purchasing
• Raw material quality and storage
• Feed formulation and manufacturing
• Product labelling
• Loading, transport and delivery to clients
• Product inspection, sampling and testing
• Customer complaint investigation

To obtain FeedSafe® accreditation, feed manufacturers are required to undergo annual site audits, these being conducted by independent third party food safety auditors.
