NATURALLY OCCURRING PROHIBITED SUBSTANCES (NOPS) CODE FOR EQUINE BEDDING

Following the successful growth of the BETA NOPS Code for Feed into an internationally recognised standard for the reduction of risk of prohibited substances, BETA is proud and pleased to launch the first NOPS Code for Equine Bedding products.

THE BETA NOPS Code for Bedding was launched in January 2020.

Like the Feed NOPS Code, the aim of the code is to enable companies that audit to the code to offer peace of mind to riders and trainers that their bedding is given the same degree of scrutiny for the risk of prohibited substances as their feed.

At the request of the members, we have written code to reduce the risk of prohibited substances in bedding of all types.

The code is for use by all bedding manufacturers who wish to demonstrate and confirm that they conform to current best practice in minimising the risk of contamination by NOPS in equine bedding which they produce or is produced and packed on their behalf. 

Whilst the focus of the code is on prohibited substances, it is also intended to offer users the assurance that the company is marketing their product fairly and legally through the auditing of all claims made by code members.
