Gelatine industry seeks streamlined EU import rules for animal products

European Chemical Industry Council, 15 Feb 2018

The organization requests recognition of food-grade gelatine and collagen production processes already approved under EU food regulations. They also seek practical flexibility for sealing requirements on small shipments and samples. Additionally, they want clearer specifications that TSE requirements apply only to ruminant-origin materials, not all animal products.
This would eliminate duplicate production standards and reduce administrative burdens on imports.
