I work for a bakery that produces Pancakes and Waffles. The process typically has several misshaped or broken product that we are currently storing and giving to a local farmer for use as animal feed.
Under CFR Title 21 507.28 it mentions protecting against adulteration by trash, contaminants and I'm having a bit of confusion around products that had fallen on the floor.
For human food we do not ship any product that has come into contact with the floor.
Should this policy extend to food that we would send to our local farmer as well? I couldn't find specifics in the code detailing this and we'd like to not fill landfills if we don't have to discard the product.
My general thinking is that food for animal consumption should follow the same safety precautions that we have in place for human food.
See code below:
