Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/2118 of 16 December 2020 concerning the renewal of the authorisation of Pediococcus pentosaceus DSM 16244 as a feed additive for all animal species and repealing Regulation (EU) No 514/2010 |
| Summary |
Pediococcus pentosaceus DSM 16244 was authorised for 10 years as a feed additive for all animal species by Commission Regulation (EU) No 514/2010. In accordance with Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for the renewal of the authorisation of Pediococcus pentosaceus DSM 16244 as a feed additive for all animal species, requesting the additive to be classified in the additive category 'technological additives'. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 14 of that Regulation. The European Food Safety Authority ('the Authority') concluded in its opinion of 25 May 2020 that the applicant has provided evidence that the additive complies with the existing conditions of authorisation. The Authority concluded that Pediococcus pentosaceus DSM 16244 does not have an adverse effect on animal health, consumer safety or the environment. It also concluded that is not irritant to skin and eyes but considered a skin and respiratory sensitiser. Therefore, the Commission considers that appropriate protective measures should be taken to prevent adverse effects on human health, in particular as regards to users of the additive. The assessment of Pediococcus pentosaceus DSM 16244 shows that the conditions for authorisation, as provided for in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, are satisfied. Accordingly, the authorisation of that additive should be renewed as specified in the Annex to this Regulation. As a consequence of the renewal of the authorisation of Pediococcus pentosaceus DSM 16244 as a feed additive under the conditions laid down in the Annex to this Regulation, Regulation (EU) No 514/2010 should be repealed.
