Commission Implementing Regulations 2024/764, 2024/771, 2024/777, 2024/778, 2024/780, 2024/781, 2024/786, 2024/794, 2024/806, 2024/824, 2024/997, 2024/1054, 2024/1055, 2024/1056, 2024/1057, 2024/1058, 2024/1070, 2024/1104, 2024/1161, 2024/1179, 2024/1185, 2024/1186, 2024/1187, 2024/1189, 2024/1190, 2024/1194, 2024/1195, 2024/1196, 2024/1199, 2024/1200
Update
An overview of the latest authorisations and reauthorisations of feed additives and their use in animal nutrition in target animals.
Impacted Products
Feed additives, prepared fodder
What is changing?
New authorisations
In March and April 2024, the EU authorised the new feed additives listed in Table 1.
These authorisations are based on opinions published by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) [see Resources 1–21].
Reauthorisations
In March and April 2024, the EU reauthorised the feed additives listed in Table 2, based on opinions published by EFSA [see Resources 14, 16, 21, 22–31].
Amended authorisations
Regulation 2024/1054 authorises the use of a preparation of Weizmannia faecalis DSM 32016 for suckling and weaned piglets, poultry for fattening, and ornamental birds, together with some other antiprotozoal agents. EFSA’s opinion [20] states which of these uses are compatible, which are not, and for which uses no conclusions could be drawn about compatibility.
Regulation 2024/771 amends Regulation 152/2009 laying down the methods of sampling and analysis for the official control of feed.
Withdrawals
The following will be withdrawn from the market for animal species and categories other than those mentioned in the Regulation's Annex:
- Regulation 2024/1186: Cinnamon bark essential oil and cinnamon leaf essential oil from Cinnamomum verum
- Regulation 2024/1195: Cassia essential oil from Cinnamomum aromaticum.
Why?
Applications for the above authorisations and reauthorisations were submitted and considered by the Reference Laboratory set up by the Feed Additives Regulation (1831/2003).
Timeline
New authorisations remain valid until the end dates listed in Table 1.
Reauthorisations remain valid until the end dates listed in Table 2.
What are the major implications for exporting countries?
With new authorisations, more feed additives will be available on the market. Authorisations and renewals are valid for 10 years. The use of all preparations and substances specified as feed additives must comply with the provisions 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.
