  "text": "The following specific conditions shall apply to the production and use of processed animal protein derived from farmed insects and compound feed containing such processed animal protein intended to be used for feeding aquaculture animals:\n(a)Processed animal protein derived from farmed insects must:\n(i)be produced in processing plants approved in accordance with Article 24(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009 and dedicated exclusively to the production of products derived from farmed insects; and\n(ii)be produced in accordance with the requirements laid down in Section 1 of Chapter II of Annex X to Regulation (EU) No 142/2011.\n(b)Compound feed containing processed animal protein derived from farmed insects must be produced in establishments authorised for that purpose by the competent authority and which are dedicated exclusively to the production of feed for aquaculture animals.\nBy way of derogation from that specific condition:\n(i)the production of compound feed, containing processed animal protein derived from farmed insects, for aquaculture animals in establishments which also produce compound feed intended for other farmed animals, except fur animals, may be authorised by the competent authority, following an on-site inspection, subject to compliance with the following conditions:\ncompound feed destined for ruminants must be manufactured and kept, during storage, transport and packaging, in facilities that are physically separate from those facilities where compound feed for non-ruminant animals are manufactured and kept,\ncompound feed destined for aquaculture animals must be manufactured and kept, during storage, transport and packaging, in facilities that are physically separate from those facilities where compound feed for other non-ruminant animals are manufactured and kept,\nrecords detailing the purchases and uses of processed animal protein derived from farmed insects and the sales of compound feed containing such protein must be kept available to the competent authority for a period of at least five years,\nregular sampling and analysis of the compound feed destined for farmed animals other than aquaculture animals in order to verify the absence of unauthorised constituents of animal origin using the methods of analysis for the determination of constituents of animal origin for the control of feed set out in Annex VI to Regulation (EC) No 152/2009; the frequency of such sampling and analysis shall be determined on the basis of a risk assessment carried out by the operator as part of its procedures based on the HACCP principles; the results must be kept available to the competent authority for a period of at least five years;\n(ii)a specific authorisation for the production of complete feed from compound feed containing processed animal protein derived from farmed insects shall not be required for home compounders that comply with the following conditions:\nthey are registered by the competent authority as producing complete feed from compound feed containing processed animal protein derived from farmed insects,\nthey keep only aquaculture animals, and\nthe compound feed containing processed animal protein derived from farmed insects used in their production contains less than 50 % crude protein.\n(c)The accompanying commercial document or health certificate referred to in Article 21(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009, as appropriate, of processed animal protein derived from farmed insects and the label thereof shall be clearly marked with the following words: ‘processed insect protein — shall not be used in feed for farmed animals except aquaculture and fur animals’.\nThe following words shall be clearly indicated on the label of compound feed containing processed animal protein derived from insects:\n‘contains non-ruminant processed animal protein — shall not be fed to farmed animals except aquaculture and fur animals’ .",
