Food and feed hygiene for farmers and growers

Introduction

Guide

As a farmer or grower, food and feed safety and hygiene are an important part of your business. The EU food and feed hygiene regulations introduced the concept of good hygiene practices from 'farm to fork'. Farmers and growers are at the foundation of the food chain and it is key that you ensure good hygiene practice.

This guide outlines food hygiene law for farmers and growers and animal feed regulations. It also highlights key issues such as rules for using veterinary medicines and pesticides.

Under current operating arrangements for Northern Ireland, feed products produced in NI or placed on the NI market will continue to follow EU rules.
