Quality Assurance

All animal feeds produced by GrainCorp pass through a strict quality assurance process to ensure the products are safe and meet the highest standards.

FeedSafe® Accredited

Our Feeds production plants are FeedSafe® accredited. FeedSafe® is an HACCP–based Quality Assurance accreditation program for quality assurance and risk mitigation in the manufacture and use of animal feeds.

To retain membership, all active manufacturers must adhere to a Code of Good Manufacturing Practice, developed in conjunction with Chief Veterinary Officers in each State and been endorsed by the Primary Industries Ministerial Council.  

FeedSafe® requires manufacturers to meet minimum standards in:  

  • 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 

GrainCorp Feeds production sites are audited every year by independent third-party auditors to ensure compliance.
