Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/654 concerning the authorisation of butylated hydroxyanisole as a feed additive for cats |
| Summary |
Butylated hydroxyanisole was authorized without a time limit as a feed additive for all animal species in accordance with Council Directive 70/524/EEC. This additive has been subsequently entered in the Register of feed additives as an existing product, in accordance with Article 10(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003. In accordance with Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 in conjunction with Article 7 thereof, an application was submitted for the re-evaluation of butylated hydroxyanisole as a feed additive for all animal species. The applicant has later withdrawn the application with regard to cats, due to the adoption by EFSA on 12 November 2019 of a non-favourable opinion concerning the safety of the additive for use for cats. The re-evaluation of butylated hydroxyanisole resulted in the authorization thereof as a feed additive for all animal species except cats, by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1399. Article 10(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003 requires the adoption of a Regulation withdrawing from the market feed additives for which no application in accordance with Article 10(2) and (7) of that Regulation was submitted before the deadline set in those provisions, or for which an application was submitted but subsequently withdrawn. Since the applicant has withdrawn the application with regard to cats, butylated hydroxyanisole (E 320) should be withdrawn from the market as a feed additive for cats. In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003, a new application was submitted for the authorization of butylated hydroxyanisole as a feed additive for cats, to be classified in the category 'technological additives' and in the functional group 'antioxidants'. That application was accompanied by the particulars and documents required under Article 7(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1831/2003.
