pet food
Tojo Cosmetics GmbH has taken an important next step: the company now officially holds a license as a manufacturer and distributor of single and mixed feed for pets. This creates the regulatory basis for expanding the portfolio to include feed and nutrition-related product concepts.

With this approval, Tojo Cosmetics is consistently developing beyond classic animal care. In the future, in addition to animal cosmetics, functional concepts, supplementary products, and other feed can be offered both for customer projects and for its own Elbpfoten brand—in a legally compliant, professional, and scalable manner.

What does Regulation (EC) No. 183/2005 regulate?

Regulation (EC) No. 183/2005 forms the central European legal basis for feed hygiene. The aim is to ensure that feed is safe, traceable, and of high quality and hygiene at all stages, from production to placing on the market.

Specifically, the regulation governs, among other things:

  • the approval and registration of establishments,
  • requirements for premises, processes, and qualified personnel,
  • the introduction of a functioning self-monitoring system based on the HACCP principle,
  • and comprehensive documentation and traceability requirements.

With the approval granted, the competent authority confirms that Tojo Cosmetics fully meets these requirements.

Why this step is strategically important

The demand for high-quality, functional products for pets is growing rapidly – especially in the areas of feed supplements, functional snacks, nutricosmetic concepts for skin, coat, joints, or intestinal flora, as well as special solutions for sensitive or older animals. With its approval under EC 183/2005, Tojo Cosmetics is now in a position to implement these developments in the feed sector in a legally compliant manner.

For customers, this means:

  • a central contact for development, quality, and marketing,
  • significantly faster project implementation without external regulatory hurdles,
  • and the highest safety and quality standards.

New perspectives for Elbpfoten and individual customer projects

This also opens a new chapter for the Elbpfoten brand. Care products, animal cosmetics, and nutrition-related concepts can be meaningfully combined in the future—holistically conceived, scientifically sound, and market-oriented.

At the same time, individual customer requests are expressly welcome.
