Most ingredients of animal origin used in foods for human consumption must come from a country that has a GB approved residue control plan. Exceptions are wild origin fishery products and highly-refined products such as glucosamine and chondroitin
For products of animal origin for human consumption excluding composite products, the country where the food is manufactured must also have a GB approved residue control plan for each of the animal origin ingredients in the product
If the food is a composite product, the country of origin of the individual animal products must have a relevant approved residue control plan but the country of manufacture of the composite product does not.
Residue plan requirements are in addition to the other general import requirements for food and the specific import requirements for products of animal origin (POAO) and composite products
