(12) Carry-over may occur during production, processing, storage and transport of feed where the same production and processing equipment, storage facilities or means of transport are used for feed with different components. For the purposes of this Regulation, the concept of "carry-over" is used specifically to designate the transfer of traces of an active substance contained in a medicated feed to a non-target feed, while the term "cross-contamination" is to be considered as a contamination resulting from a carry- over or from the transfer in feed of any unintended substance. Carry-over of active substances contained in medicated feed to non-target feed should be avoided or kept as low as possible. In order to protect animal health, human health and the environment, maximum levels of carry- over for active substances contained in medicated feed should be established, based on a scientific risk assessment performed by the European Food Safety Authority and taking into account the application of good manufacturing practice and the ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principle. General limits should be set out in this RegulationDirective, taking into account the unavoidable carry-over and the risk caused by the active substances concerned.
