This Directive deals with undesirable substances and products in animal nutrition. Member States shall prescribe that feed materials may only be put into circulation in the Community if they are sound, genuine and of merchantable quality. Feed materials cannot be considered as sound, genuine and of merchantable quality if the level of undesirable substances or products is so high as to make it impossible to respect the maximum levels fixed for compound feedingstuffs in Annex I. Member States shall take all necessary measures to ensure that feedingstuffs and feed materials are officially controlled, at least by random sampling, to verify whether the conditions laid down in this Directive are satisfied. (18 articles and 4 Annexes)
