The Animal Protein Producers Industry (APPI) is the rendering industry program responsible for the weekly Salmonella testing in North America. APPI also develops educational programs to control biological, chemical, and physical hazards, and will be considering other biosecurity program needs in the future. APPI became a program within the National Renderers Association on January 1, 2006, and is open to all renderers.
APPI’s objectives are uniquely focused to assist member companies in manufacturing safe products. The APPI Code of Practice corresponds very closely to the initiatives taking place throughout the entire food chain and furthers the concept of safe feed – healthy livestock – safe food – healthy people.
APPI will continue to develop innovative programs to promote the safety of animal proteins and feed fats through testing, continuing education and training, and collaborative research. The following plants have made a significant commitment and have completed the required testing for APPI’s 2005 Salmonella testing program. They will also be the foundation for safe rendered feed products in the future.
The following rendering plants have completed the required testing for APPI’s 2005 Salmonella testing program.
