COMMISSION REGUL ATION (EU) 2017/893 
of 24 May 2017 
amending Annex es I and IV to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 of the European Parliament and of 
the Council and Annex es X, XIV and XV to Commission Regulation (EU) No 142/2011 as regards 
the provisions on processed animal protein 
(Text with EEA relevance) 
THE EUR OPEAN COMMISSION, 
Having regar d to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, 
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2001 laying 
down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of certain transmissible spongif orm encephalopathies (1), and in 
particular the first paragraph of Article 23 thereof, 
Having regar d to Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 
laying down health rules as regards animal by-products and derived products not intended for human consump tion and 
repealing Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 (Animal by-products Regulation) (2), and in particular the second 
subparagraph of Article 31(2), the third subparagraph of Article 41(3) and the second subparagraph of Article 42(2) 
thereof, 
Whereas: 
(1)  Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 lays down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of transmissible 
spongif orm encephalopathies (TSEs) in bovine, ovine and capr ine animals. It applies to the production and 
placing on the market of live animals and products of animal origin and in certain specifi c cases to expor ts 
thereof. 
(2)  Article 7(1) of Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 prohibits the feeding to ruminants of prote in derived from animals. 
Article 7(2) of that Regulation extends that prohibition to animals other than ruminants and restr icts that 
prohibition, as regar ds the feeding of those animals with products of animal origin, in accordance with Annex IV 
to that Regulation. 
(3)  Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 extends the prohibition provided for in Article 7(1) to the feeding to 
non-r uminant farmed animals, with the excep tion of the feeding to carnivoro us fur producing animals, of, inter 
alia, processed animal prot ein. However , by way of derogation and under specifi c conditions, point (c) of 
Chapt er II of Annex IV author ises the feeding of non-r uminant processed animal protein to aquaculture animals 
only , provided that the processed animal protein and compound feed containing such protein have been 
produced in compl iance with Section D of Chapt er IV of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001. This Section 
currently requires that the animal by-pro ducts used for the production of such processed animal prot ein be 
derived from slaughterh ouses or cutting plants. Given the production process of processed animal protein 
derived from insects, this requirement cannot be met in the case of insects. As a result, the use of processed 
animal protein derived from insects in feed for aquaculture animals is currently not allowed. 
(4)  In several Member States, the rear ing of insects for the production of processed animal prote in derived from 
them and other insect derivatives destined for petfood has started. This production is carried out under the 
national control schemes of the compet ent author ities of the Member States. Studies have shown that farmed 
insects could represent an alternative and sustainable solution to convention al sources of animal prote ins 
destined for feed for non-r uminant farmed animals. 
(5)  On 8 October 2015, the EFSA (European Food Safe ty Auth ority) published a scientifi c opinion on a risk profile 
relat ed to the production and consum ption of insects as food and feed (3). As regar ds the risks relat ed to the 
presence of prions, EFSA concludes that, compared to the occur rence of hazards in currently author ised protein 25.5.2017 L 138/92 Official Jour nal of the European Union EN

(2)OJ L 300, 14.11.2009, p. 1. 
(3)Scientific Opinion on a Risk prof ile related to production and consump tion of insects as food and feed, The EFSA Journal (2015);13 
(10):4257. sources of animal origin, the occur rence of hazards in non-processed insects is expecte d to be equal or lower, as 
long as the insects are fed on substrate s that do not harbour mate rial of ruminant or human (manure) origin. As 
the processing of insects may further reduce the occur rence of biological hazards, that statement is also valid 
when it comes to processed animal prot eins derived from insects. 
(6)  As per the definition of ‘farmed animals’ laid down in Article 3(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009, insects 
bred for the production of processed animal protein derived from insects are to be considered as farmed animals, 
and are theref ore subject to the feed ban rules laid down in Article 7 and Annex IV to Regulation (EC) 
No 999/2001 as well as to the rules of animal feeding laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009. Thus, the 
use of ruminant protein s, cateri ng waste, meat-and-bone meal and manure as a feed for insects is prohibited. 
Further more, in accordance with Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 767/2009 of the European Parliament and of 
the Council (1), the use of faeces for animal nutr itional purposes is prohibited. 
(7)  Processed animal protein derived from insects and compound feed containing such processed animal protein 
should theref ore be author ised for feeding aquaculture animals. Point (c) of Chapt er II of Annex IV to Regulation 
(EC) No 999/2001 should theref ore be modif ied according ly and a Section laying down TSE related conditions 
for the production of processed animal protein derived from farmed insects and compo und feed containing such 
prot ein should be added in Chapt er IV of Annex IV to that Regulation. 
(8)  By analogy with what is already applicable for processed animal prot ein derived from non-r uminant animals and 
compo und feed containing such prot ein destined for feeding aquaculture animals, specifi c conditions for the 
production and use of processed animal prote in derived from insects should be laid down in order to avoid any 
risk of cross-contamination with other prot eins which could pose a TSE risk to ruminant animals. In particular , 
by analogy with the conditions laid down in Section A of Chapt er IV of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) 
No 999/2001, processed animal prot ein derived from insects should be produced in plants dedicat ed excl usively 
to the production of products derived from farmed insects. 
(9)  In addition, in the interest of legal certainty , it is appropr iate to inser t a definition of farmed insects in Annex I to 
Regulation (EC) No 999/2001. 
(10)  Annex es I and IV to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 should theref ore be amended according ly. 
(11)  Annex X to Commission Regulation (EU) No 142/2011 (2) lays down rules for imple menting Regulation (EC) 
No 1069/2009, including parameters for the production of safe feed of animal origin intended for feeding 
farmed animals. Only animal by-products and derived products compl ying with the requirements of Annex X to 
Regulation (EU) No 142/2011 may be fed to farmed animals, other than fur animals. While the provisions set 
out in Annex X to that Regulation do not cover live insects and dried insects in feed for farmed animals, the use 
of dried insects in or as pet food is subject to the provisions set out in Annex XIII to the aforementioned 
Regulation. 
(12)  The amendment to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 with a view to author ise processed animal protein derived 
from insects for feeding aquaculture animals is likely to open the oppor tunity for bigger production of processed 
animal protein derived from insects in the Union. Whereas the current small scale rear ing of insects for petfood 
can adequat ely be addressed by existing national control schemes, Union provisions addressing animal health, 
public health, plant health or environmental risks are appropr iate to ensure that insect rear ing within the Union 
on a larger scale is safe. With respect to the insect species reared in the Union, these should not be pathogenic or 
have other adverse effects on plant, animal or human health; they should not be recognised as vect ors of human, 
animal or plant pathogens and they should not be protect ed or defined as invasive alien species. Taking into 
account these national risk assessments, as well as the EFSA opinion of 8 October 2015, the following insect 
species can be identif ied as those insect species currently reared in the Union whic h fulfil the abovementioned 
safety conditions for insect production for feed use: Black Soldier Fly (Her metia illucens), Common Housef ly 
(Musca domestica), Yellow Mealworm (Tenebr io molitor), Lesser Mealworm (Alphitobius diaper inus), House cricket 
(Acheta domesticus), Banded cricket (Gryllode s sigillatus) and Field Cricket (Gryllus assimilis). 25.5.2017 L 138/93 Official Jour nal of the European Union EN     
(1)Regulation (EC) No 767/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 July 2009 on the placing on the market and use of 
feed , amending European Parliament and Council Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 and repealing Council Directive 79/373/EEC, 
Commission Directive 80/511/EEC, Council Directives 82/471/EEC, 83/228/EEC, 93/74/EEC, 93/113/EC and 96/25/EC and 
Commission Decision 2004/217/EC (OJ L 229, 1.9.2009, p. 1). 
(2)Commission Regulation (EU) No 142/2011 of 25 Febr uary 2011 implementing Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 of the European 
Parliament and of the Council laying down health rules as regards animal by-products and derived products not inten ded for human 
consump tion and implem enting Council Directive 97/78/EC as regards certain samples and items exem pt from veterinar y chec ks at the 
border under that Directive (OJ L 54, 26.2.2011, p. 1). (13)  Annex X to Regulation (EU) No 142/2011 should theref ore be amended to add, in Section 1 of its Chapt er II, 
a list of insect species which may be used for the production of processed animal protein obtained from farmed 
insects. This list should include the abovementioned insect species and may be amended in the future based on 
an assessment of the risks posed by the insect species concer ned to animal health, public health, plant health or 
the environment. 
(14)  Annex XIV to Regulation (EU) No 142/2011 sets out requirements for the impor t of animal by-products and 
derived products from third countr ies. Safety requirements applicable for growing insects intended to be used in 
feed for aquaculture animals and for the placing on the mark et of processed animal proteins derived from those 
insects, in particular as regards the insect species which may be used and the feed whic h may be given to the 
insects, should apply also in the case of impor ts from third countr ies. Sections 1 and 2 of Chapt er I of 
Annex XIV to Regulation (EU) No 142/2011 should theref ore be amended to lay down those requirements for 
imports into the Union. 
(15)  Annex XV to Regulation (EU) No 142/2011 lays down model health certificates for the impor t into the Union of 
animal by-products. The model health certificate set out in Chapt er 1 of Annex XV to that Regulation applies to 
imports into the Union of processed animal prot ein. For the purpose of imports of processed animal protein 
derived from farmed insects, a new model health certificate should be laid down and should include the specifi c 
requirements for breeding of farmed insects for the production of processed animal prot ein mentioned in 
Annex XIV to Regulation (EU) No 142/2011, as well as the other relevant requirements for imports of processed 
animal protein . Theref ore new model of health certificate for the import of processed animal prote in derived 
from farmed insects should be inser ted into Chapt er 1 of Annex XV. 
(16)  Further more, the new model health certificate inser ted in Chapt er 1 of Annex XV to Regulation (EU) 
No 142/2011 should also take into account the amendment by Commission Regulation (EU) 2016/1396 (1) of 
the requirements relat ed to TSE applicable to imports of animal by-products and derived products of bovine, 
ovine or capr ine origin, as set out in Chapt er D of Annex IX to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001. 
(17)  Annex es X, XIV and XV to Regulation (EU) No 142/2011 should theref ore be amended according ly. 
(18)  Section A of Chapt er III of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 lays down requirements to prevent cross- 
contamination during transpor t in bulk between, on the one hand, fishmeal, dicalcium and tricalcium phosphat e 
of animal origin, blood products derived from non-r uminants as well as compo und feed containing these 
products, whic h are intended for feeding non-r uminant farmed animals, and, on the other hand, feed intended for 
ruminants. Consider ing that a similar risk of cross-contamination exists when those mate rials are stored in bulk , 
the requirements of Section A of Chapt er III of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 should be extended to 
cover the storag e in bulk of fishmeal, dicalcium and tricalcium phosphate of animal origin, blood products 
derived from non-r uminants and compound feed containing these mate rials. 
(19)  Section B of Chapt er V of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 lays down requirements to prevent cross- 
contamination during transpor t between, on the one hand, bulk feed mate rials and bulk compo und feed 
containing products derived from ruminants other than milk and milk based products, dicalcium and tricalcium 
phosphat e of animal origin and hydrolysed proteins derived from ruminant hides and skins, and, on the other 
hand, feed intended for farmed animals other than fur animals. Consider ing that a similar risk of cross contami ­
nation exists when those mate rials are store d in bulk , the requirements of Section B of Chapt er V of Annex IV to 
Regulation (EC) No 999/2001, should be extended to cover the storag e in bulk of feed mate rials and compo und 
feed containing products derived from ruminants other than milk and milk based products, dicalcium and 
tricalcium phosphat e of animal origin and hydrolysed proteins derived from ruminant hides and skins. 
(20)  Point (a) of Section D of Chapt er IV of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 requires that animal by- 
products used for the production of processed animal prot ein, other than fishmeal, derived from non-r uminants 
and intended to be used in feed for aquaculture animals, are sourced in slaughterhouses which do not slaughter 
ruminants and cutting plants whic h do not bone or cut up ruminant meat. Point (a) provides for a derogation 
from that requirement for slaughterhouses which carry out effective measures in order to prevent cross-contami ­
nation between ruminant and non-r uminants by-products and which are inspected and author ised on that basis 
by the compet ent author ity. 25.5.2017 L 138/94 Official Jour nal of the European Union EN     
(1)Commission Regulation (EU) 2016/1396 of 18 August 2016 amending certain Annexes to Regulation (No 999/2001 of the European 
Parliament and of the Council laying down rules for the prevention, control and eradication of certain transmissible spongif orm encepha ­
lopathies (OJ L 225, 19.8.2016, p. 76). (21)  In order to allow for more possibilities in the types of raw mate rials used for the production of non-r uminant 
processed animal protein destined for use in feed for aquaculture animals or destined for expor t, it is appropr iate 
to amend point (a) of Section D of Chapt er IV of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 in order to allow 
the use of animal by-products originating from establishments other than slaughte rhouses or cutting plants, 
provided that those other establishments are dedicat ed excl usively to the handling of non-r uminant mater ials, or 
are author ised by the compet ent author ity, following an on-site inspection, based on the same channelling 
requirements as those provided for in the existing derogat ion for slaughterhous es, given that those channelling 
requirements provide the necessar y guarant ees that cross-contamination is prevented and controlled. It is also 
appropr iate to exte nd to cutting plants the derog ation existing for slaughterh ouses, provided that the same 
channelling requirements are applied. Section D of Chapt er IV of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 
should theref ore be amended according ly. 
(22)  Point (b) of section A of Chapt er IV of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 requires that the 
accompan ying commercial document or health certificate and any packaging of fishmeal and of compo und feed 
containing fishme al be marked with the words ‘contains fishmeal — shall not be fed to ruminants’. However , the 
commercial document or health certificate refer red to in Article 21(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 is not 
required for compound feed. It is theref ore appropr iate to amend point (b) of Section A of Chapt er IV of 
Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 to clarify that, for compound feed containing fishmeal, the words 
‘contains fishmeal — shall not be fed to ruminants’ should only be added on the label of the compo und feed. 
Section B, point (d) of Section C and point (e) of Section D of Chapt er IV of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) 
No 999/2001 should also be amended in this respect. 
(23)  Section C of Chapt er V of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 prohibits the production of feed for farmed 
animals other than fur animals in establishments producing petfood or feed for fur animals containing ruminant 
products which are prohibit ed for use in feed for farmed animals, other than fur animals. A similar prohibition 
should be laid down for establishments producing petfood or feed for fur animals containing non-r uminant 
processed animal prot ein, other than fishmeal, in order to ensure the absence of cross-contamination of feed for 
farmed animals other than fur animals or aquaculture animals with products prohibited in such feed. Section C 
of Chapt er V of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 should theref ore be amended according ly. 
(24)  Point 1 of Section E of Chapt er V of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 prohibits the expor t of processed 
animal prot ein derived from ruminants. That requirement was originally intended to control the spread of Bovine 
Spongif orm Encephalopath y (BSE) at a time when BSE was epidemic in the Union and when the Europe was the 
main part of the world affect ed by the epidemic. However , the BSE situation in the Union has improved signif i­
cantly . In 2015, five cases of BSE were repor ted in the Union compared to 2 166 repor ted cases in 2001. This 
improvement of the BSE situation in the Union is reflected in the fact that 23 Member States are now recognised 
as having a negligible BSE risk status in accordance with Commission Decision 2007/453/EC (1), based on the 
BSE risk status recognised at intern ational level by the World Animal Health Org anisation (OIE). 
(25)  The prohibition on the expor t of processed animal prot ein derived from ruminants should theref ore be abolished 
and replaced by specific conditions to be compl ied with, in order to reduce the burden for trade and bring more 
propor tionality compare d to the current BSE epidemiological situation. Those conditions should notably be 
aimed at ensur ing that the expor ted products do not contain meat-and-bone meal, the expor t of whic h is not 
author ised by Article 43(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009. As meat-and-bone meal may contain specif ied risk 
mate rials or may be derived from animals whic h have died or have been killed for reasons other than slaughter 
for human consum ption, meat-and-bone meal represents a higher BSE risk and should theref ore not be expor ted. 
(26)  In order to ensure that the expor ted processed animal prote in of ruminant origin do not contain meat-and-bone 
meal and are not used for other purposes than those author ised by Union legislation, the processed animal 
prot ein derived from ruminants should be transpor ted in sealed containers directly from the processing plant to 
the point of exit from the Union, whic h should be a border inspection post listed in Annex I to Commission 
Decision 2009/821/EC (2), in order to permit official controls. Such official controls should be carried out using 
the existing official control procedures, in particular the commercial document in accordance with the model 
established in point 6 of Chapt er III of Annex VIII to Regulation (EU) No 142/2011 and the communication 25.5.2017 L 138/95 Official Jour nal of the European Union EN     
(1)Commission Decision 2007/453/EC of 29 June 2007 establishing the BSE status of Member States or third countr ies or regions thereof 
according to their BSE risk (OJ L 172, 30.6.2007, p. 84). 
(2)Commission Decision 2009/821/EC of 28 Sept ember 2009 drawing up a list of appro ved border inspection posts, laying down certain 
rules on the inspections carried out by the Commission veterinar y exper ts and laying down the veterin ary units in Traces (OJ L 296, 
12.11.2009, p. 1). between compet ent author ities via the integrat ed comput erised veter inar y system (TRA CES) introduced by 
Commission Decision 2004/292/EC (1). 
(27)  In accordance with Article 24 of Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009, the processing plant must be appro ved for the 
processing of Categor y 3 mater ial and in accordance with Article 45 of that Regulation, it must be subject to 
regular official controls, including, where the processing plant is also appro ved for the processing of Categor y 1 
and/or 2 mater ial, as regards the permanent marking of Categor y 1 and 2 mate rial required by that Regulation. 
(28)  Point 2 of Section E of Chapt er V of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 requires that compound feed 
containing processed animal proteins derived from non-r uminants and intended for expor t are produced in 
accordance with certain requirements, refer ring notably to point (e) of Section A of Chapt er V of Annex IV to 
that Regulation, which, in turn, refers to Section D of Chapt er IV of that Annex. As those cross-ref erences have 
led to diverging interpretat ions, it is appropr iate to reformulate point 2 of Section E of Chapt er V of Annex IV to 
Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 in order to clarify the requirements applicable for the production of processed 
animal prot eins derived from non-r uminants, or compo und feed containing such proteins, intended for expor t 
from the Union. 
(29)  In particular , the reference, in point 2(b) of Section E of Chapt er V of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001, 
whic h concer ns expor ts of compo und feed containing processed animal protein derived from non-r uminants, to 
point (d) of Section D of Chapt er IV of that Annex, which concer ns the production of compo und feed containing 
processed animal prot ein derived from non-r uminants for feeding aquaculture animals, is not adapt ed to all cases. 
While point (d) of Section D of Chapt er IV of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 requires that the 
compo und feed establishment be dedicat ed exclusively to the production of feed for aquaculture animals or be 
author ised based on measures taken to avoid cross-contamination between feed intende d for aquaculture animals 
and feed intended for other farmed animals, in the case of expor ts, Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 
does not limit the species to which the expor ted compo und feed may be fed to in the third countr y. The cross- 
contamination to be target ed in this case is theref ore between the expor ted compound feed containing non- 
ruminant processed animal protein and feed destined for other farmed animals than aquaculture animals to be 
placed on the Union mark et. Point 2 of Section E of Chapt er V of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 
should theref ore be amended according ly. 
(30)  The amendments descr ibed in previous recitals concer ning (1) the storag e of certain feed mater ials and 
compo und feed; (2) the production of processed animal protein derived from farmed insects and of compo und 
feed containing such prot ein; (3) the expor t of compo und feed containing processed animal protein derived from 
non-r uminants; and (4) the use of raw mate rials from other establishments than slaughter houses and cutting 
plants for the manufa ctur ing of non-r uminant processed animal prote in, include requirements for Member States 
compet ent author ity to register or author ise certain establishments based on the fulfilment of those requirements. 
Section A of Chapt er V of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001 should theref ore be amended in order to 
include the oblig ation for Member States to keep up-to -date and make publicly available lists of those 
establishments. 
(31)  To limit the burden for compet ent author ities, the publication of lists of operators should be limited only to 
those cases where such publication is necessar y in order for operat ors to identify which poten tial suppliers 
compl y with the requirements of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001, and for compet ent author ities to 
control the respect of those requirements along the production chain. Section A of Chapt er V of Annex IV should 
theref ore be amended to exclude lists of home compo unders from the oblig ation to be made publicly available. 
(32)  As Member States and operat ors need sufficient time to adapt to the amendments made by this Regulation in 
Section A of Chapt er III, as regards the storage of certain bulk feed mater ials and compound feed, and in 
Sections A, B and C of Chapt er V of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001, as regards the lists of 
establishments producing in accordance with certain requirements of Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 999/2001, 
as regards the storag e of feed containing products derived from ruminants, and as rega rds the production of 
petfood containing processed animal prote in derived from non-r uminants, those changes should apply from 1 
Januar y 2018.

shall be kept available to the compet ent author ity for a period of at least two years. 
By way of derogat ion from the first paragraph, vehicles, containers and storage facilities which have 
been previously used for the transpor t or storage of bulk processed animal prot ein derived from 
non-r uminants and bulk compo und feed containing such prote in, and intende d for expor t from the 
Union, may be subsequently used for the transpor t or storag e of feed for placing on the market and 
intended for feeding to ruminants or non-r uminant farmed animals other than aquaculture animals, 
provided that they are cleaned beforehand in order to avoid cross-contamination, in accordance with 
a documented procedure whic h has been given prior author isation by the compet ent author ity. 
Whenever such a procedure is used, a documented record of such use shall be kept available to the 
compet ent author ity for a period of at least two years. 
Storag e plants storing bulk processed animal prot ein derived from non-r uminants and bulk 
compound feed containing such prote in under the conditions set out in the second paragraph of 
point (d) shall be author ised by the compe tent author ity based on verification of their compl iance 
with the requirements listed in that paragraph. 
4.  By way of derogation from point 3, the conditions laid down in that point shall not apply to:

No 1069/2009 and whic h is packag ed and labelled in accordance with Union legislation; 25.5.2017 L 138/107 Official Jour nal of the European Union EN     (b)  fishmeal, provided that it is produced in accordance with this Annex; 
(c)  processed animal protein derived from farmed insects, provided that it is produced in accordance 
with this Annex; 
(d)  compound feed containing no other processed animal prote in than fishme al and processed animal 
protein derived from farmed insects, provided that it is produced in accordance with this Annex; 
(e)  processed animal prot ein derived from non-r uminants destined for the manuf actur ing of petfood or 
of organic fertilisers and soil improvers in the third countr y of destination, provided that, before 
expor t, the expor ter ensures that each consignment of processed animal protein is analysed in 
accordance with the method of analysis set out in point 2.2 of Annex VI to Regulation (EC)
