Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/2080 of 26 November 2021 concerning the authorisation of L-histidine monohydrochloride monohydrate produced by fermentation with Escherichia coli NITE SD 00268 as a feed additive for all animal species except finfish |
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 an authorisation. In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, an application was submitted for the authorisation of the extension of use of L-histidine monohydrochloride monohydrate produced by fermentation with Escherichia coli NITE SD 00268 as a feed additive from finfish to all animal species. That 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 the extension of use of L-histidine monohydrochloride monohydrate produced by fermentation with Escherichia coli NITE SD 00268 as a feed additive from finfish to all animal species to be classified in the additive category 'nutritional additives', functional group 'amino acids, their salts and analogues', and in the additive category 'sensory additives', functional group 'flavouring compounds'. The European Food Safety Authority ('the Authority') concluded in its opinion of 5 May 2021 that, under the proposed conditions of use, L-histidine monohydrochloride monohydrate produced by fermentation with Escherichia coli NITE SD 00268 does not have an adverse effect on animal health, consumers safety or the environment. The Authority also concluded for the additive in question that it was not possible to conclude on the potential for the additive to be toxic if inhaled, an irritant to eyes 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. The Authority also concluded that the additive is an efficacious source of the essential amino acid histidine and efficacious as a flavouring compound.
