SUMMARY
Following a request from the Health and Consumer Protection, Directorate General, European
Commission, the Panel on Biological Hazards was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on
Microbiological Risk Assessment in feedingstuffs for food-producing animals for both public
health and animal health. In accordance with the terms of reference, this report does not
consider hazards such as BSE/TSE agents, parasites and virus, or contamination by fungi and
mycotoxins.
The Panel on Biological Hazards identified Salmonella spp. as the major hazard for microbial
contamination of animal feed. Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli O157: H7 and
Clostridium sp. are other hazards for which feed is regarded a far less important source. In
addition, antimicrobial resistant bacteria, or antimicrobial resistance genes can be transmitted
via feed.
Forage, industrial compound feed, home-grown cereals and purchased straight feedingstuff are
the four major groups of feeds for EU livestock. The report focuses on industrial compound
feed as the feed group with the highest risk for becoming contaminated by Salmonella spp. Oil
seed meal and animal derived protein are the major risk feed materials for introducing
Salmonella co
