European Union - Meat-and-bonemeal moves closer

The European Parliament would support a Commission proposal to lift the ban on the use of meat-and-bonemeal in pig and poultry feed but only if the strictest testing and surveillance mechanisms are enforced, according to a draft report.

This week’s European Parliament draft report stresses a revision of the meat-and-bonemeal ban could be supported by MEPs only if reliable species-specific testing is introduced.
