Phosphoric acid 60% on silica carrier as a feed additive and all types of animal feed containing phosphoric acid 60% on silica carrier.

Draft Commission Implementing Regulation concerning the denial of authorisation of phosphoric acid 60% on silica carrier as a feed additive belonging to the functional groups of preservatives (Text with EEA relevance). Language(s): English. Number of pages: 4

The draft measure denies the existing authorisation of phosphoric acid 60% on silica carrier used as preservative antioxidant feed additive for all animal species, since the conditions for authorisation laid down by the relevant EU legislation are no longer met. According to the opinion of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) of 17 March 2020, considering the limited data provided in the dossier and in the absence of response from the applicant to its requests for additional information, EFSA could not conclude on the safety and efficacy of the additive.

The draft denial act is accompanied by transitional measures in order to allow operators to adapt to the obligation to withdraw the products concerned from the market.
