New authorisations (December 2023)

In December 2023, the EU authorised the new feed additives listed in Table 1.

These authorisations are based on the following opinions published by the European Food Safety Authority: EFSA (2022), (2023a), (2023b), (2023c), (2023d), (2023e), (2023f).

Why?

Applications for the above authorisations were submitted and considered by the Reference Laboratory set up by the Feed Additives Regulation (1831/2003).

Timeline

Regulations 2023/2732, 2023/2733, 2023/2734, and 2023/2736 apply from 28 December 2023. These authorisations remain valid until 28 December 2033.

Regulation 2023/2802 applies from 8 January 2024. This authorisation remains valid until 8 January 2034.

Regulations 2023/2846 and 2023/2850 apply from 10 January 2024. These authorisations remain valid until 10 January 2034.

What are the major implications for exporting countries?

With these new authorisations, more feed additives will be available on the market. Authorisations and renewals are valid for 10 years. The way that all preparations and substances specified as feed additives are used must comply with the provisions of use specified in the Annex to each Regulation.

Recommended Actions

Non-EU countries producing feed additives, compound feed, and feed materials for export to the EU are recommended to check the status of the feed additives in the EU Feed Additives register.

To be able to filter and to see more information, it is advised to download the register in Excel format (see foot of Food and Feed Information Portal).

Background

The procedure for authorising the placing on the market and use of feed additives is set out in Regulation (EC) 1831/2003. For the latest updates on feed additives see the EU Feed Additives register.
