Branded data – Participants

The basic principle for branded data is to use as much primary data as possible. Branded data allows producers of feed ingredients to be transparent about the impacts of their specific products and provides credibility to their customers.

As branded data is not widely available in, or accepted by, existing life cycle databases, a pilot phase was initiated by GFLI in 2023 to test the robustness of the draft methodology with regard to different types of feed ingredients and to ultimately determine the feasibility of including this kind of data in GFLI. In 2023, five companies applied for the branded data pilot and succesfully proceeded.

After the pilot phase, the branded data methodology was evaluated and further developed. As of 2024, it is possible to apply for branded data and the first companies succesfully finalized their branded data assessment in 2025.

Approved branded datasets

The list below details the branded data-in providers . Detailed information about the differnt datasets available per company is can be found in the collapsible section for each data-in provider. All ingredeints listed in the tables have succesfully proceeded in GFLI branded data. The datasets are internally and externally reviewed and are deemed GFLI-compliant.

The ingredient name is aligned with the GFLI database naming system. The reference year indicates the year of the collected data (in case of 3-year averages, the most recent year is the reference year). The overall Data Quality Rating (DQR) indicates the quality of the data based on the PEFCR metric of DQR, quantified in 4 categories (precision, geographical, technological, and time representativeness).
