Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/421 of 9 March 2021 concerning the authorisation of tincture derived from Artemisia vulgaris L. (mugwort tincture) as a feed additive for all animal species |
Summary |
Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 provides for the authorisation of additives for use in animal nutrition and for the grounds and procedures for granting such authorisation. In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for the authorisation of a tincture derived from Artemisia vulgaris L. (mugwort tincture) as a feed additive for all animal species. This application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. The application concerns the authorisation of a tincture derived from Artemisia vulgaris L. (mugwort tincture) as a feed additive for all animal species. The applicant requested this additive to be classified in the additive category "sensory additives". The European Food Safety Authority ("the Authority") concluded in its opinions of 4 October 2019 and 1 July 2020 that, under the proposed conditions of use the tincture derived from Artemisia vulgaris L. (mugwort tincture) does not have adverse effects on animal health, consumer health or the environment. The Authority indicated that no conclusions can be drawn on the additive's potential to be a dermal/eye irritant or a skin sensitiser. Therefore, the Commission considers that appropriate protective measures should be taken to prevent adverse effects on human health, in particular as regards the users of the additive.
