AFMA has been invited to participate in the South African Food Loss and Waste Initiative’s new Animal Feed Working Group, aimed at developing science-based, regulation-aligned guidelines for using surplus food in animal feed. The first meeting is scheduled for July 2025.
As AFMA considers its role, the organisation is exploring the formation of an internal team of technical experts to provide input on risk assessment, compliance, and safe-use protocols. While challenges like food waste quality and traceability remain, the initiative offers an opportunity to help shape practical solutions for the feed sector.
Exciting news!
