About Course

Compulsory learning pathway

You must finish Step 1 and Step 2 before this course will open. A category D FSSC 22000 audit is conducted against four documents. Steps 1 and 2 teach two of them. This course teaches the other two, ISO 22002-6:2025 and the FSSC 22000 additional requirements. Taken in order, the four fit together and nothing is repeated.

This course is the feed and animal food layer of FSSC 22000 Version 7. It takes food chain category D and teaches what ISO 22002-6:2025 adds on top of ISO 22002-100:2025, together with the FSSC 22000 additional requirements at their real category D scope.

Category D covers the processing of feed material intended for food and non-food producing animals that are not kept in households, such as meal from grain, oilseeds and by-products of food production, and the processing of feed mixtures with or without additives intended for food-producing animals, including premixes, medicated feed and compound feeds. The consumer at the end of your chain has four legs, but the hazard travels into the human food chain all the same, and the scheme treats it that way.

The course works clause by clause through ISO 22002-6:2025, and gives particular attention to the two places where feed departs from every other sector: the rework clause, which in a feed mill is a daily operational reality rather than an exception, and the additional requirement that applies specifically to category D in addition to clause 12, covering procedures to manage ingredients and additives containing components that can have an adverse animal health impact.

Twenty four lessons across four teaching modules, each closing with a knowledge check, then an implementation toolkit module with two browser based tools and a final assessment module. The graded final assessment runs to four parts, 150 questions and 180 marks, with Part 4 carrying double marks. Three attempts and a pass mark of 70 percent. Every question carries a written explanation naming the clause that settles it.

What Will You Learn?

  • Read any FSSC 22000 Version 7 requirement and say, with the clause reference attached, whether it reaches food chain category D.
  • Implement the four requirements ISO 22002-6:2025 adds of its own, all of which concern medication: storage, cross contamination, declaration and rework.
  • Build and validate the carryover controls a feed audit tests: sequencing, flushing, cleaning, mixer uniformity and the evidence behind each.
  • Apply clause 2.5.11 c), written for category D alone, on ingredients and additives with an adverse animal health impact, and justify the requirements that do not reach you.

Course Content

Module 1: Category D, and what a feed audit is conducted against
Scope, the DI and DII split, the four documents, and why feed sits inside the human food chain.

  • Lesson 1: What this course covers, and what it assumes you already know
  • Lesson 2: Category D in the scheme’s own words
  • Lesson 3: The four documents a category D audit is conducted against
  • Lesson 4: Where feed hazards actually come from
  • Lesson 5: Reading a requirement, and the habit that gets you through the audit
  • Module 1 knowledge check

Module 2: ISO 22002-6:2025, the mill and its infrastructure
Construction and layout, workspaces, utilities, pest control, waste and food loss, equipment suitability and maintenance.

Module 3: ISO 22002-6:2025, the operational core
Purchased materials, storage and transport, contamination, cleaning, hygiene, product information, food defence and fraud, and clause 17 rework.

Module 4: The FSSC additional requirements at category D scope
Which requirements reach a feed business, the requirement unique to category D, the allergen position, and a readiness walk.

MODULE 5: THE IMPLEMENTATION TOOLKIT
Two browser tools that turn what you have learned into a scored, dated plan for your own site. Work them before you open the final assessment.

MODULE 6: FINAL ASSESSMENT AND NEXT STEPS
Four assessed parts, all marked by the platform the moment you submit. Parts 1 to 3 test the requirements. Part 4 is the case study assessment and carries double marks. Then your own site plan, self-assessed.
