QS – Report on 2011 Outlook for 2012
Feed monitoring
In 2011, just under 21,900 samples were taken for feed
monitoring purposes and analysed to determine compliance
with maximum legal concentrations and QS guidance values
for contaminants. All in all, more than 290,000 test results
were entered in the QS database, an increase of 120,000 year
on year. Two in three analyses were performed on cereals,
and the number of cereal tests was twice that in the previous
year. A total of 5,701 samples were tested for dioxins and
dioxin-like PCBs, an increase of 1,556 on the 2010 figure.

One of the measures taken in response to the dioxin
incident in January 2011 was the implementation of stricter
requirements for feed monitoring. As of July 1, 2011, scheme
participants must perform positive release samplings for
refined fatty acids and fatty acid distillates (and their salts),
unrefined coconut oil and unrefined cocoa butter as well as
