The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food together with the Ministry of Social Rights, Consumption and Agenda 2030 have modified Royal Decree 1528/2012, which establishes the rules applicable to animal by-products and products not intended for human consumption.
This affects, among other aspects, the requirements for the transport of SANDACH and will establish a greater regulatory definition, greater control and a more effective supervision of processes and sanitary regulations by central government authorities.
First, the traceability of by-products not intended for human consumption will be ensured with the creation of a Registry of SANDACH Establishments and a National Registry of SANDACH Movements, where the data declared by operators involved in the movement of these materials will be verified.
Commercial documents must detail information on the origin, loading, transportation, and destination of by-products, and operators are held responsible for ensuring the accuracy of the data provided.
In addition, the possibility of electronic signatures on commercial documents will be introduced, and administrative management processes will be simplified to adapt to the foreseeable growth in movement documentation.
The incorporation of alternative official numbers assigned by EU regulations, such as the Register of Livestock Farms (REGA) and the Register of Establishments that Deliver Products for Animal Feed (SILUM), will also be permitted. These measures will ensure compliance with the regulations that establish the mandatory use of tankers, trailers, and containers exclusively for the transportation of food liquids for human consumption, separating those intended for the transportation of products and by products not intended for human consumption in order to avoid risks to public and animal health, as well as cross-contamination between different types of consumer materials.
This regulation strengthens our way of working and consolidates our commitment to a way of understanding quality based on traceability, computerized process management, and excellence in quality control.
This has been the work of Sr. Concejo
