European Union - Fish Meal and Fish Oil (and Derivatives) FOR Human Consumption
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), U.S. Department of Commerce, provides certification for fish meal and fish oil exports* to the European Union (EU). NOAA certifies all* fish meal and fish oil (and derivatives containing no other animal-origin ingredients) exported to the EU, regardless of the intended use (the only exceptions are noted below).
Contact information for NOAA is below.
*Exceptions:
- Products ready for retail sale for consumption by pets for which the importing Border Control Post (BCP) will accept the applicable Regulation 142/2011 (as amended) Chapter 3A, 3B, or 3C certificate. For those products, please select the applicable “Pet Food” IREG page.
- FDA rather than NOAA may be involved for certain supplements for human consumption (the NOAA offices below could advise if this were the case for the applicable export). Alternatively, FDA may be contacted at: CFSANExportCertification@fda.hhs.gov
